Palestine visa for Swiss citizens

Swiss citizens planning a trip to Palestine should note that a visa is required for entry. Unlike other destinations, your journey will necessarily involve transit through Israeli-controlled checkpoints, such as Ben Gurion Airport (TLV), where your visa will typically be issued on arrival for an approved duration, often up to 90 days for tourism or short-stay purposes. While the cost for this entry stamp is usually waived for short-term visitors, specific regulations can vary. Once inside, you'll find the Israeli New Shekel is the most widely accepted currency for daily transactions across Palestinian territories, alongside some use of the Jordanian Dinar.
