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.

It doesn’t work that way because there are many tests that use different ranges.

MY ISHUR CAME!!!!

I emailed NY consulate last week and didn't hear back.  I emailed the Washington Consulate on Monday and it just came!! BH.  I'm so relieved.

I want to thank everyone for all your tips and help.  I wouldn't have thought of the Washington Consulate without my fellow readers.

Did all your info indicate you live in NYC? How about the ticket, did it originate in NY?

The test results don't give it away?

So you received no response until you actually got the permit PDF?

What test results?  When you apply for permission to enter you don't need to show a test.  Vaccination record, passport birth certificate etc doesn't have address on it.  I sent the email and the first correspondence I received from them was a pdf of the actual Ishur

Got it.

You are right - in my case I was applying for an individual who has recovered from COVID-19, so they have to show a positive result + negative result.

Does Misrad Hapnim give problems issuing a permit for relatives when the relative is already present in Israel?

Either private for $.
Or if there is a pikud haoref testing - not sure if they test foreigners.
Or go to the airport for 49 shekel
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

https://www.gov.il/he/service/foreign-businesspeople-entry-during-covid19
Very clear instructions.

Just in case you cant read Hebrew: you need to fill out this form https://govforms.gov.il/mw/forms/BusinessmenEntryRedCountries-stage1@moital.gov.il

You must provide proof of vaccination/recovery attached to the form.

And then the company inviting you must fill out this form https://govforms.gov.il/mw/forms/BusinessmenEntryRedCountries@moital.gov.il

I hope this helps you.

ISn't that the Covid test I need to get out? Also, if I do it at the airport how long before the flight do we have to get there? Do we set  it up through checktofly like when we got to Israel?

Indeed.
You can book through check2fly. Just take into account that the results take 4 hours, and that's ahead of check-in time etc

so just to clarify I can arrange for Covid test upon arriving in Israel for free? with check2fly and also upon returning to the USA for free with check2fly

Can I arrange for inexpensive antibody test ahead of time in the airport when I arrive in Israel?
