4-Will the Israeli Authorities Stamp My Passport?
The Israeli Authorities current policy is to not stamp passports for tourist visas. Instead, travellers are issued with a personalized printed card. You should make sure to keep this card with you throughout the duration of your stay in Israel. Do not lose it.
5-Visa Information for Israel/Palestine:
The entry and exit procedures for Israel/Palestine are governed by Israeli state authorities. Here’s what you need to know:
-Citizens from most Western countries can obtain a visa upon arrival at several entry points, including Ben Gurion Airport, Eilat Airport, King Hussein/Allenby Bridge, Sheikh Hussein/Jordan River Crossing, or Wadi Araba/Yitzhak Rabin Crossing. If, however, you require a visa in advance, the application process should be initiated at an Israeli Embassy, typically the one in your home country. Check your eligibility for a visa upon arrival or the need for an advance application here.
-Visas obtained on arrival are typically valid for a period of three months.
-Important Note: On certain occasions, Israel has denied entry to travellers of Arab ethnicity or Muslim religion, as well as those perceived as activists supporting Palestinian causes. If you fall into any of these categories, anticipate potential delays at the border, and be prepared for extensive questioning.
6-Visa Information for Jordan (Jordan Pass)
-JORDAN PASS: We recommend you purchase the Jordan Pass – the combined ticket that includes your tourist visa and entrance fees to most tourist sites – it’s the cheapest and easiest option for traveling around Jordan.
-Note: For this option, you must stay in Jordan for a minimum of 3 nights. If you go with this option, you should buy the Jordan Pass online before entering the country.
Basic Tourist Visa (Non-Jordan Pass)- Fees: Single Entry Visa (valid 1 month): 40 JOD (~$56 USD).
