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.

If you join a tour is that how you want to spend your time?
Most people want to visit someone or be on their own schedule. For that you need to wait till Israel opens up, perhaps in August.
Yes, we would need to be on our own schedule.
Still no way to join a tour?

What needs to be done in order to "make a tour group" that can be approved for a visit?
Would like to know that too.
And what are the costs?

Roughly:

It’s around $500 per day for the tour guide.

$250 per person for them to arrange everything.

$95 for serological.

Bus is around $500-700 per day depending on your needs.

Find any tour company in Israel and they’ll arrange it for you. The bureaucracy Is ridiculous, but it can be done.

Wow...that's steep.
If that's what it'll cost, forget it.

I got an auto reply from the consulate on Friday that it's better to have someone apply in person in Israel

Almost no chance Israel will reopen before Sukkos. Even Chanukah is optimistic
