Link to form that needs to be filled out within 48 hours of flight to Israel

Accordingly, the FINAL criteria For entering Israel are as follows - you must meet ONE of these conditions in order to enter Israel:

1. Vaccinated within 180 days of the trip with either a second vaccine or a booster and it must be at least 14 days after the shot.

2. Recovered within 180 days of the trip with DIGITAL proof of a positive PCR result and more than 11 days have passed since the positive result. This type of proof only exists in the EU. The UK will likely have it as well.

3. Recovered anytime – even more than 180 days before the trip - with DIGITAL proof of positive PCR result AND vaccinated with at least one dose within 180 days of the trip. Again at the moment the digital proof only exists in the EU and possibly the UK shortly.

Your vaccination or recovery CANNOT expire while in Israel, which means you may not be in Israel more than 180 days after your vaccine or recovery have expired.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING THE TERMS OF ENTRY: VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA CAN MEAN SANCTIONS INCLUDING BARRING YOUR ENTRY TO ISRAEL FOR 5 YEARS.

Why do you need a test for Israel, don't you get a tav yarok now?

You also need a pcr to leave Israel. I used check2fly. Emed may work to get you into the US, however everyone needs a PCR in order to leave (and that same PCR can get you into the US)

PCR is waived with an Israeli vaccine/recovery certificate. Is that something besides tav yarok?

Just filled out the Israeli form and I am hoping someone can help me.

It asked for an address to isolate. I put in the Hotel's address. ok? How many people staying there and how many rooms?

I entered my vaccine type and dates but I didn't see anywhere to enter lot number. Did I miss something?

I got a תצהיר כניסה לישראל but it says Not Vaccinated or Recovered | לא מחוסן/מחלים : Health Status | סטטוס בריאותי
You may board the plane | מאושר כניסה לישראל :Passenger status | סטטוס נוס.

I also got a Green Pass.

Am I good to go or did I do something wrong?

Do I need to upload my CDC vaccine card?
Bump. Please

I think @Dan and @m65 might be saying the same thing and just misunderstanding each other.
To clarify, the Green Pass only exempts you from Israel's requirement of PCR when leaving Israel. (Obviously destination requirements still apply)
Anyone disagree with that?

Posting from a plane at TLV.
Have a tav yarok. Still needed a PCR to leave.
My understanding is everyone needs a PCR on arrival and everyone needs a PCR to leave.

Who required you to have a PCR? Did you ask if you needed it with a T"Y or did you just show PCR?

He's probably flying to the US or another country who requires a negative test before the flight

It was asked for at check in. She also asked for my vaccine card which honestly seemed strange. I didn't ask any questions at that point as the pre pre pre security line was ridiculously long.

I'm doubting now that i needed it even though i was convinced enough to book one. I know someone else who also left earlier today. Will ask what he needed.

Yup. US bound. Was going to bring emed tests but didn't bother since i was told i needed PCR to leave.

I am flying to Ben Gurion next week, but Noach car rental told me there was no availability for day of arrival, only following day.  (I can pick up in Jerusalem where I am staying.)  What are my options for getting from Ben Gurion to Jerusalem?  Is rail operating?  Are there tenders and taxis?  And do I have to wait until I get negative PCR results, which can take a couple of hours, before I can take rail, tender or taxi?  Or are there are other car rental agents who will be able to get me a car upon arrival?  I have used Noach about 4-5 times in the past and been very happy with them, but kind of surprised that they only have a 7 seater for my day of arrival.  Thanks.

I got the same. Didn't upload my card. You shouldn't upload it either.
I'm just going to hope for the best here.
