Special Cases


  • If you’re a British national of Palestinian origin, please note that you will need a Palestinian passport or travel document to leave Gaza or the West Bank.

  • Dual nationals holding Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, and Lebanese citizenship have previously been impacted.

Travel Restrictions


  • Please be aware that Israeli border officials may close checkpoints on public holidays and during periods of increased instability.
