Israel (Not) Reopening To Foreigners

[bigG]

when did you send in your docs?
did they ever ask you for more papers?
are they open 6 days a week?

Few weeks ago. Yes they kept asking for diff docs in diff formats. They closed Sunday. I’ve gotten response on a Friday, but not really helpful, as they are just forwarding all information to Jerusalem.

Then I think you'll have to get
 permission,  but it should be much easier.
