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.

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.

Where is my best option to take a antibody test upon late afternoon arrival at Ben Gurion?
Is there a way to have someone come take it in or near the airport (far an extra fee)? I'm traveling up north.

Rambam medical center (Haifa) officially does home visits on certain days only.

I was told that you can also call Shamir medical center and schedule someone to meet you at the airport.

Otherwise Shamir Medical center or Sheba medical center are both not too far from the airport. But you will need to schedule an appointment in advance.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

What's the typical turnaround time on the response from the interior ministry after filling out the entry form within 24 hours of travel to Israel?

Anyone got already permit under new guidelines?

If I have a 75 year old uncle living there can my Mother which if 1st degree relative apply for a permit and take along her 50 year old son because 1st degree relative can take along their family?
According to Amudim only minor children can come along with parents who have a 1st degree relative

Can somebody list the options for arranging for someone to come to the airport, draw our blood for vaccine antibodies, and submit it to Msirad Habriut? It would be a big help. Thanks.

New Rambam Laboratories on Rechov Hillel. If you come from Sunday thru Thursday, between 8am and 1pm, results will be on the same day.

Was originally denied last week's request for lack of apostle. Resent last evening after they removed apostle requirement.  Got case # this morning. Ishur this afternoon.
Did you apply as first degree relitive? Do you need a good reason to why you're going or just visiting is good enough?
Thanks in advance

If one is married to an Israeli citizen and living in the states, can the non-Israeli spouse who is vaccinated get an ishur to enter the country with the Israeli non-resident spouse? what about without the Israeli spouse traveling along?

Is your question if a brother/sister in law of an Israeli sufficient enough for a first degree relative?

Sure. If you have antibodies, go get tested and make sure they have your passport number and they report the results to misrad habriut. You can do it basically anywhere (is there a refuit on your block?). Once they report to misrad habriut, you can call and it will end yur quarantine. then you can leave.

That seems to be correct at this point.

I had a green pass from my previous visit, so exiting after 4 days was a non-issue. My BIL took an antibody test last week, called MOH after a few hours and was told that his quarantine ended.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Yes. Your spouse doesn’t need to be traveling with you.
