Since you are coming back to Jordan, you have the entry and exit stamp from Queen Alia airport. Hi Hana! Im planning a one day visit to Jerusalem from Amman, crossing the border by the Allenby Bridge. Or i can just get to the border and do all the paperwork there? Whats the easiest way to get to the border? I live in Kuwait so i will have Kuwaiti stamps, do you know if it will be a problem?
Hi Xavi, Israeli visas are issued at the border, no need for paperwork. I have friends in Israel that I would like to visit before I go to Egypt. Where is your passport from? It all depends on the questioning I believe…. Are there any ways I could make the process easier so to speak? I can answer what ever questions and I am open for them to check my social media etc but not my messages which I heard they can sometimes ask for.
So, I will get an entry stamp but will I get stamped upon exit? Be it whether they are now stamping it on the passport or separately? Please advise, thanks!
Thanks however if I only have an entry stamp but no exit stamp that will be suspicious too. And if I get stamped at Aqaba, it will also be obvious where I went Israel. I was coming from Brussels, nothing in my papers stated I was going to Canada. I did not even show my ticket. So they do know where you go. And even when countries are worst enemies, they do exchange infos about travellers.
And your statement is based on what? Hola,leo mucho to blog,tengo una pregunta,dispongo de 2 pasaportes Italia y Argentina y posiblemente en los proximos meses tenga el 3er Usa Tengo pensando hacer un viaje desde Filipanes para el oeste. Mi pregunta capaz que tonta pero es la siguiente,puedo usar los pasaportes a mi favor para digamos eludir visas o bajar costos de visa? Tambien un poco para eludir el tema del conflicto sello de Israel vs paises musulmanes?
Does the problem work the other way? Will I encounter any border problems? I travelled overland from Egypt to Israel via Taba. Can I say I needed the stamp for a Red Sea cruise? Or will I be banned from visiting?
But Taba border is the landborder with Israel right? If you enter Egypt by sea from Jordan, would you get the same stamp? Since i am working in the Middle East an Israel visa in my passport will create issues. I have a US passport with Saudi work visa. My question is more specific as to how you would recommend flight routing from Riyadh to Tel Aviv. Or would it be possible to fly into and out of Amman on the same day? There is absolutely no proof that you had been to Israel. I am a Philippine passport holder and I am currently in Israel for vacation.
I extended my visa for 1month and the Ministry of Interior unexpectedly pasted the B2 visa on my passport. Now my issue is ,I am travelling back to Dubai under tourist visa.
I have been living and working in Dubai for 12 years and my contract was finished so i took vacation for awhile. Would I have a problem entering Dubai now? Hope someone can enlighten me. Hi I am a Pakistani Passport holder, can you guide me how can I visit Jerusalem, you must be aware of all the facts and questions I have in mind when I mentioned Pakistani passport. Your first problem is that the Pakistani government restricts visits to Israel — the Pakistani passport is not valid to Israel — as it is printed on it by the Pakistani govrnment.
Secondly, once you acquired permission, you need to apply for a tourism visa to Israel in the nearest Israeli consulate to you no Israeli consulates in Pakistan, as there are no diplomatic relations. Unfortunately I studied under a program in Jordan that needed visa renewal, so we had to show evidence of re-entry into Jordan, and the group that I was with chose to travel to Israel via the King Hussein bridge crossing. So I have King Hussein border crossing stamps in my passport. Well, if you the authorities recognize that stamp you will be banned, yes.
If you are planning to travel to any of those countries you should make a new passport. Dear Joan, Thanks much for your information they are really helpful. Allow me to ask a few questions just to clarify. I understand that I can try to manage not to get Jordan exit stamp at King Hussein and obtain a visa card for Israel instead of a stamp. This means I would only have entry stamp of Jordan.
It seems not much of a problem for entering Iran, correct? I have also obtained an Iran visa already at a local Iran embassy. I was stupid enough to mention that I may go to Iran in an email to a Jerusalem hostel i was planning to stay though I sent a subsequent mail saying I changed my plan.
I am not sure how much of a secret service society Israel is, but would there be any possibility that the hostel may inform border officers that I am a dangerous person and stamp my passport instead of giving a visa card upon entering Israel at King Hussein?
When flying out of Tel Aviv to Iran, should I purchase the flights Tel Aviv-Istanbul and Istanbul-Teheran separately in order to avoid nuisance at the immigration at Tel Aviv airport, which I have heard is nightmarish to begin with? The thing is it would be cheaper to purchase a fly-through Tel Aviv-Istanbul-Teheran , but I am not sure if the immigration would check my tickets and interrogate me. Dear Sara, here my replies: 1 — If you already have your visa, it is quite unlikely that the authorities will check your passport notice that you only have an entry stamp for Jordan.
Do go to the airport as early as possible upon your exit 3 — It is always better to buy them separetly but again, they will know that you are going to Iran because they will see the visa. It means so much to me as this would be my last chance to travel extensively due to physical reasons. I was really scared of the situation regarding Q2, because when I called one of the five-star hotels in Jerusalem to ask about Q3 since I had no idea who to ask and that was my best bet to get a reply in decent English , the concierge immediately changed his attitude and hang up as if he was talking to a political criminal.
FYI, Iran visa now is given as a separate sheet of paper e-visa, as they call it. I have seen a blog article by a Japanese guy who mentioned he got the same type of visa upon applying for arrival visa at Teheran airport recently. Not sure if it applies to all nationalities but Iran government may be working in a similar way as Israelis to attract more tourists by reducing their inconvenience after visiting Iran.
So i will try to conceal that visa sheet as much as possible at the security check at Tel Aviv airport. When we arrive at Cairo Airport will our arrival stamp in our passport state that we have entered from Israel like the land border stamp does or is it just a generic arrival stamp? Thanks for your help and thanks for the web-site, it contains lots of great information.
Wow, you really do respond fast! I had an iranian stamp, three lebanese and i was coming from Egypt. I was interrogated for almost 10 hours.
They were so suspsicious, I had to show everything, they checked all my navigation history and so on. They asked me really weird questions for exemple : why do you have a beard, why have you cut it recently? The funny thing is that all israeli in Sinai have got very long beard because of this hippy community there :D.
Why do you go to Middle east I travelled all around the wolrd but they focus only about that :P. I had to come back to Egypt.. So they do care a lot about stamps, i think it depends on your luck… I was maybe really unlucky! Hey Jas, wow I am really sorry for what happened to you! I am also surprised somehow, as you are the first person who tells me something like that but thank you, I will let people know that there are some cases where your entry to Israel may be denied.
Can I ask you when did this happen? And also, did they find anything when they checked your navigation history, or is there anything else you know that may be relevant? It happens in Taba, last summer June Maybe they were suspicious because i stayed in Egypt for two semesters in the Caire University i made an exchange program with my university in France in the politcial science department there.
I found several people on internet which were denied but usually it is linked with an anti israeli activism. At the boarder it was so stressful, i was interwiewed at least four times, and one time it was more than two hours.
Last but not least, they stamped my passport with an israeli stamp and written entry denied so they destroyed it :'. Hello, I would like to ask if you have problem travelling to Jordan if you have travel in Israel before. I have also Lebanon stamp to my passport.
Since I travel a lot in the gulf region for work especially Dubai I would rather avoid the Israeli stamps. Is it reasonable to expect to to avoid the exit stamp at the jordanian border, then the entry stamp to Israel and then again the exit from Israel and the entrance stamp to Jordan?
Your opinion would be of great help to me. My passport is Italian. Id you are so worried about it, just fly in and out from Amman, it is that simple. I didnt explain myself well: I will be flying from Dubai to Amman, then I plan the overland trip to Jerusalem. Is it reasonable to avoid the 4 stamps involved in this border crossing? OK, yes, it is possible.
Hi Joan, Thank you very much for your answers. I work for a company based in Dubai and operating in many arab countries not in Iran. Do you think a rejection in Israel is highly probable?
Thank you again. Hi Dario, regarding your first question, there is a probability of rejection, yes, but, in most cases, you will be OK to go. This article has been read by thousands and thousands of people and very very few have reported me that their entrance was rejected, while the vast majority were OK to go.
They questioned me for a long time but I was OK to get in. You will never know but, if that helps, people I know who got rejected were regular backpackers who stayed for long periods of time in Lebanon and Iran. You are an expat living in Dubai, so they know your type of profile, which is less suspicious.
As per your second question, ALL travelers I met who got rejected were trying to cross overland. In fact, the land border is where you get the largest amount of questions and where they are more suspicious. Hi , I guessa silly question. I am just passing throught Tel Aviv Airport. DO I still need Israel Visa? I m from India and not on the list of country which do not need visa. DO I need visa even for coming out of plane and taking another flight out of same airport..
Please contact the embassy. Got email reply.. India passport holders do not need visa if staying on airport for less than 24 hrs…. Must hv onward journey visa. Hello, Brilliant article, thanks for providing so much detail. Can I visit Lebanon without any troubles? Can I do this and remain on the same Jordanian Visa without getting any stamps? Im currently working here in Saudi Arabia and Im planning to visit Israel maybe end of this year.
Is it ok to travel by air from Saudi to Istanbul to Tel Aviv and vise versa? What would you recommend? I was coming from Brazil that time. I hope there would be no problem if I have an Israeli visa on my passport. In fact, Israelis can even enter Tunisia, as there is an important Jewish community still living there.
Thanks Joan…. And which way would be safer for me to enter israel? Joan, great work. You made clear the question. I want to add that Ovda airport and Eilat airport closed forever last year. Any data points to suggest this is no longer an issue? Hello, thanks god you made this blog!!! Without those 4 stamps I should be fine going to Beirut from Cyprus or Istanbul.
Thanks for you help! Hey Gabriele, you can skip it if you ask for it beforehand but you will have an entry stamp, and not the exit one, which is kind of suspicious! With the entry stamp i am screwed entering in Beirut…. Hi, Joan! I would like to wonder your point of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. After all, One should go over the reality to discover it. I have never been to Israel, but I went so many times to Palestine. Thanks for the precious information.
If I manage my passport not to be stamped in Aqaba on a separate sheet do you think I could ask for a stamp at the airport in Aqaba or Amman, even if I did not enter through air? Is it worth trying? Hi Stefan! Are you asking whether you can ask for the exit stamp to be in a separate piece of paper? I am not sure about it. I was in the same situation as you and they did stamp it, even though I told them not to do so, but it could depend on the authority. Hi All, I arrived a year ago in araba airport with entry and exit stamp would this be a problem for lebanon?
I have no idea if this stamp is different form the Wadi Araba stamp? We even have stories of visitors that brought a special piece of paper just for the stamp! The exception to this is visas. This piece of paper may be important, or may not. Some car rental companies also require this proof of entry.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Egyptian and Jordanian authorities will stamp your passport. Since day trips into these neighbors, like S and K, are popular, we have one more piece of information. While you will not receive a stamp entering or exiting Israel, you may when entering or exiting Jordan or Egypt.
You can request a paper stamp or alternative proof. Lebanese officials are infamous for denying entry if they see these stamps in your passport. While most stamps from Arab or Muslim countries will not cause any comments, there are always exceptions. One notable example is Iran. When is the best time to visit Israel? Prepare See All.
