Entry Refused
Disagreements between Palestine and 3 destinations have imposed restrictions in traveling to Palestine.
- Georgia PermalinkShow on MapEntry RefusedSince 2018, Georgian authorities stopped granting visas to Palestinians, and removed the State of Palestine from their e-Visa official website.
Recently, Palestinians holding a valid Residency Visa issued by the UAE are granted visa-free entry to Georgia, if they travel directly from the UAE and hold return flight tickets. This does not apply to Palestinians who hold any travel documents other than The Palestinian Authority Passport. - Madagascar PermalinkShow on MapEntry RefusedDespite being able to apply for a visa through Madagascar official eVisa website, holders of "Palestinian Authority" passports are not allowed to enter or transit, where Madagascar's government do not recognize the "Palestinian Authority" passport. Other Palestinian citizens who hold refugee travel documents issued by Syria, Lebanon and Egypt can normally enter or transit by applying for a visa through Madagascar's diplomatic missions abroad.
- Syria PermalinkShow on MapEntry RefusedPassengers with "The Palestinian Authority" passport are not allowed to enter. Information: This does not apply when they have a pre-arranged approval from Syrian Immigration Headquarters.
