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 I have green pass what test is required to leave? Can I just get Antigen? (Allot cheaper) And if yes where is cheapest easiest location (Jerusalem)?
You can't get an antigen test in Israel
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

So what are the cheapest test options valid for travel? And where?

Why are you even חושד בכשרים?

Do you really think that people who are confirmed positive for covid-19 would do this?

100%. These people, no idea. But there are plenty of anecdotal cases both within the country and coming/going of people doing what's best for them regardless of the fact that they have covid. Also are they really ksheirim if they all showed up with forged docs?

The second link to the actual applications also working?
Worked for me here in the US not long ago now doesn't. Are you saying Israel installed advanced IP blocking on the link

I use surfshark VPN to access geographically restricted sites. Didn't try for this link (I have no need) but it works for me very well elsewhere. Just select the server location through which you wish to connect, and you are no longer geographically restricted.

That puts us on the same page as far as that is concerned (even though you used the tongue-in-cheek emoji rather than your favorite /s)

I never said /s was my favorite, I think it was @S209 who did. Pretty sure I was using :P on DDF before /s was even on my radar.

It depends on context, /s has a narrower meaning/usage, while :P is much broader.

I wouldn't call it advanced, but yes it's geo blocked.

Glad I didn't wait on the consulate for my Ishur. They sent me them today, 2 days after my initial flight was supposed to take off.
