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.

A week since filing and no response.  May they rot in hell!
Don't complain yet! I have been trying for some 4 weeks already!
1) Emailed the application- after 2 days told tht I need to apply in NY not Miami.
2) Emailed application again to NY- after 1.5 weeks received automated reply that now they no longer doing emails need to use the new online system they created that day.
2) applied online: after one week of new system- denied due to missing Teuda Zehut.  The application confirmation clearly shows tesuda zehut was included.
3) Reapplied-after 1 week spouse denied because didnt include my passport (I'm the 1st degree) even though I included my whole application including my passport together with her application.
4) Cant reapply for spouse because system auto blocks it because applied within 14 days!

Dont get upsest! just take it day by day. If I cant visit my elderly father or miss my brothers wedding, so be it! I did my hishtadulus at least 3x!

Have the person you're going to file from Israel as well. Work it both ends.

Have someone apply from the misrad hapnim link too

Did you use: https://govforms.gov.il/mw/forms/knisalisrael@mofa.gov.il#!requestDetails ?

The misrad hapnim website https://govforms.gov.il/mw/forms/ApplicationToEnterIsrael@piba.gov.il#!personalDetails isn"t working.

I used https://govforms.gov.il/mw/forms/ApplicationToEnterIsrael@piba.gov.il#!personalDetails and it seems to work fine. If you're outside of Israel try a VPN?

The visa form they ask you to fill out is super convoluted because it is not labeled correctly in hebrew or in english. meaning there is a part where they want the Inviter to fill it out but it's totally not clear.. I also think a lot depends on which lishka it gets routed to, which is based on the Inviter's address.

You can reapply within 14 days by just adding a P before your passport.
Found that tidbit and many more in the FB group that's very busy with all of this stuff:

Send results to (& request Kav Yarok) (https://govforms.gov.il/mw/forms/QuarantineExceptionExit%40health.gov.il?)

Prior to Departure
5) PCR within 72 hours of exiting

ETC!!!

Unless you actually want to have coverage for medical expenses, and then you might want to buy a deductible that makes sense for you.

You don't have to buy from an Indian (US based) website.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Does anyone have a suggestion for COVID insurance in Israel? My insurance provider in American does not have a specific COVID clause for international travel.

Wow. That's a mouthful (with some duplication - IINM TinLeg is a brand of Squaremouth. Also, I am not sure, if they all actually cover Covid-19).
