Travel and mobility considerations: Middle East
Situation
The situation in Israel and Gaza has led to a humanitarian and immigration crisis. Fragomen is closely monitoring
evolving conditions, and we fully understand the need for considered and timely action. The appropriate response
requires careful and sensitive handling, and our aim is to provide up-to-date immigration insights and guidance.
For individuals who are seeking to leave the region quickly and are able to travel by air should prioritize destinations
into which they do not normally require an entry visa for tourism or business visits, as this would allow for the
fastest exit.
Below are simplified lists of select destination jurisdictions into which passport holders of Egypt, Israel, Jordan
,
Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority require a visa and into which they do not.
• Please remember that in practice, entry requirements vary by jurisdiction and visa requirements for these
travelers are subject to sudden change as the situation evolves. See our Immigration Alerts feed
for the
latest.
• In most cases, visitors are not permitted to work. Also, visitors are typically required to show that they have
return or onward travel plans, so individuals exiting the region may be subject to heightened scrutiny on
this point when seeking to enter a country as a visitor.
