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.

We were in Israel in May and each received a Tav Yarok from Misrad Habriut. Does that help us not require quarantine when we return in August? I understand we are still required to do covid testing before getting on plane in America and upon landing in Israel. Thanks.

Yes.

When you fill out the form that is required prior to boarding a flight to Israel, check off the box to indicate that you are vaccinated or recovered.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Got an appointment to get an Israeli visa in the consulate in Washington DC for next week. They said I need to bring bank statements. What will they be looking for ?

Do the antigen Emed kits Dan recommended work on the way back from Israel?
Got confused from some saying you can't get into the airport without pcr.

Dan said " Works from the airline" but might not work getting into the airport itself.

If anyone can clarify that would be great!

You pay 100 shekel when you land, or 80 if you pre pay.
Vax only helps you to get in to the country.
You need to quarantine, you can take a antibody test and get out ....
PCR in Jerusalem Ichud hatzalah 269 shekel or refuit 170.

looks like refuit is 170 shekels for both corona and antibody tests? is that the best price in Jerusalem?

I see, so then if you need a PCR anyway and don't have a recovery certificate which most tourists won't have, the Emed isn't a solution. If anyone knows more please comment.

Usually we don't use middle names on tickets etc, but on the ishur they put the middle name. The PCR test won't have it, any experience if this is an issue going to TLV?

I don't have experience with Ishur, but from my experience with PCR tests and Israel flight boarding authorization, existence or lack of middle name is a non-issue.

Just realized and am I correct?
 
If you got vaccinated in Israel these tests would work, since in order to get into the airport you present you vaccine certificate and in order to get on the plane and into America you present the Abbot test kit.

No one asked me to show anything in order to enter the airport last week.
