→ Palestine visa for Costa Rican citizens

Traveling from Costa Rica to Palestine involves a unique entry process, as no direct Palestinian visa is issued by a separate authority for border crossing. Instead, Costa Rican citizens receive an entry permit upon arrival in Israel, which then grants access to Palestinian territories, with the permissible duration of stay typically determined at this Israeli point of entry. Flights from San José, often involving connections, usually land at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport (TLV), a journey that can exceed 15 hours, highlighting the significant time zone difference. Throughout the region, visitors will primarily use the Israeli New Shekel (ILS), and should be aware that all immigration procedures for reaching Palestinian areas are administered by Israeli authorities.
