Israeli passport stamps

Gate Pass Xu Li Ya Gu Ji 432.jpg
Gate Pass

Visitors with a passport stamp from Israel are not allowed to enter a number of countries because of the Arab League boycott of Israel.

Some countries, e.g. Austria, Canada, Germany, Russia, UK and the USA allow their citizens to hold two or more passports of their country to circumvent such travel restrictions, but some countries (including Austria and Germany) also restrict or forbid the holding of passports of two countries, i.e. dual citizenship.

However for the past several years, stamps are no longer used at Ben Gurion airport (since January 15, 2013) and also land border crossings with Jordan. Instead, entry and departure records are printed on small slips of paper, which include the name of the traveller, the photo read from the epassport, the date, the visa status, and other details.

The slips also include a 2D barcode which is used as a Gate Pass [87] to pass through the gate out of the passport control hall.
