No. British passport holders can visit Palestine without a visa; the border officer decides how long you may stay.
Checked against Wikipedia's list of visa requirements for British citizens on 2026-10-04. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Palestine or its official government website before you travel.
Entry to the Palestinian territories is through crossings controlled by Israel (or by Egypt for Gaza), so their entry rules apply in practice. Check them before you travel.
What this means for your trip
Visa-free entry lets you arrive with a valid passport and pass border control without applying in advance.
The permitted length of stay is set at the border; ask the officer if it is not stamped in your passport.
Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.
