→ Spain visa for Palestinian citizens

Spanish citizens planning a visit to Palestine will find a visa is required, though the entry process is uniquely shaped by the region's geopolitical landscape. Most travelers fly into Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, located over 3,000 kilometers from Madrid, and must successfully navigate Israeli-controlled border crossings to access Palestinian cities such as Bethlehem or Ramallah. While there isn't a specific Palestinian visa type, a smooth entry through Israeli checkpoints effectively serves as the necessary permission for stays typically up to 90 days. Visitors should anticipate potential security questioning upon arrival and note that the Israeli New Shekel (ILS) is the primary currency used.
