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.

Nice, anyone hear of this happening besides for Rambam?
Were they able to get a green passport?

My BIL just told me that he did an antibody test at Shamir medical center yesterday. He got results in about 5 hours but didn't get a notice about cancellation of quarantine. He called the MOH hotline to find out his status and was told that the system shows his quarantine to be canceled.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I am thinking on flying in a few weeks on a Sunday. I am based in JLM and on Meuhedet. Where is my best option for a corona test? I need one within 72hrs.

Someone I know tested for antibodies at Rambam at 12pm today, got quarantine cancellation email 2 hrs later.

Is this Rambam in Jerusalem, or Rambam in Haifa?
How much did the antibody test cost?

Leaving USA, United is requiring that your passport or ID # be on the PCR test. Is this checked and if your taking it at a CVS or Walgreens how do you get your passport info on there?

Are they still doing that? Israel dropped that requirement.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

It seems as if it's a United requirement. I clicked and filled out the info on TIMATIC and United is stating test result must include the ID number or the passport number of the passenger or airline crew.

It's still showing up on United's website. From what I heard recently, they don't ask for the passport number to be on the test, but I guess it's best to have it on, just in case you end up with an uneducated/annoying check-in agent.

Most reports are that they do not check...
United is allowing you to upload the proof of test online.

Yup. I just realized that. Might have saved me from missing my flight earlier this week.

Still waiting to see if they'll accept my PCR test from the 19th for travel to the US on the 22nd.

I would guess that the agents in IL have their own rules. Guess your ok with missing flights...

Interesting. Though TIMATIC should be the same for all airlines.
