Entry to Palestine is controlled by Israeli authorities, so there is no simple visa to buy for it. UK foreign travel advice says Israel decides who enters, asks for a passport valid 90 days past arrival, and warns against travel to parts of the territory. Your UAE residence does not change those rules.
What the official advice says
The UK government page on entry requirements is the source we read. It states that the Israeli authorities control entry to Palestine, including by sea to Gaza. When you cross between Israel and Palestine you show your passport and your Israeli immigration slip.
Three practical points follow from it:
- Your passport must have an expiry date at least 90 days after you arrive.
- British citizens need no visa for Israel but need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (25 Israeli shekels, valid 2 years, 90-day visit). Other nationalities have their own rules.
- The advice warns that visitors with Palestinian or Arab ancestry may face longer questioning and searches, and that British nationals of Palestinian origin may be refused entry.
Travel warnings
The FCDO advises against all travel to parts of Palestine and only essential travel to other parts. The page shows no date, so read it fresh before you book. Your own government may say something different from the UK.

How it works with us
Share your passport copy and planned route on WhatsApp or the form on this page. An adviser reads the entry advice for your passport and tells you plainly what we can check and what we cannot promise. Any paid work is priced as one total first. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service. Israeli authorities decide who enters.
Fees paid to an authority are not refunded after a refusal. Before you pay, the adviser puts in writing what part of our total, if any, would come back.
