Palästinensische Autonomiegebiete: was man vor der Reise wissen sollte
Das Wichtigste
- Access to Gaza and the West Bank is restricted and can change abruptly; check area-specific official warnings.
- An Israeli ETA or visa does not by itself authorise entry to Gaza or every West Bank area.
- Payment access and water supplies differ sharply between the West Bank and Gaza.
Einreise und Visa
Entry routes to Palestine are controlled by Israeli authorities. British visa-exempt tourists entering via Israel need ETA-IL before arrival, normally for a visit of up to 90 days. Keep the Israeli entry slip with your passport. Separate West Bank procedures and Gaza permissions may apply; ETA approval does not guarantee admission or access to either territory. Check the rules for your nationality and route.

- Official tourism guidance describes card acceptance in many shops; do not assume this applies to current conditions in Gaza.
