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.

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?
NIME at the beginning of April.

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



I emailed Rambam. They send the results directly to משרד הבריאות, and once they have your results, they send you an exemption. This would work anywhere, I'm assuming, so long as the lab sends the results directly to משרד הבריאות. I'm assuming, though, that the information on the quarantine form and from the test need to be the same for משרד הבריאות to do the sync and send the exemption text/email.

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

BH. Accepted. All I had to do is tell them that @Dan said so.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

From JPost "rapid serological testing has not been initiated at Ben-Gurion Airport – although an official connected with the Tourism Ministry told the Post that such a test should be available within the week."

Just got this response from the NY embassy.

Hello,

Your application was denied for the first time because there was no apostille stamp on the birth certificate.
If you have postponed the flight to the next two weeks, please resubmit the application with an up-to-date flight date.

Currently, the procedures have been changed and there is no longer a need to sign an apostille.


Best Regards,
Noy

Just notarized, but seems like rules have changed and no need for apostille anymore.

Has anyone tried showing proof of recovery with just a doctors letter and/or antibody test?
