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.

My wife and I got ishurim for our daughter in law pregnancy. Our daughter in-law is israel not our son. We are trying very hard to get our daughter in with us. Is there an way (willing to pay if need be) to get her an ishour either through our children in EY or student program or anything like that? Any help is much appreciated!

Anybody?

What do you do with vax or infection proof?

Nobody here has done this?

Ok, chaim vchessed says that under 12 months it's not required.

Hi. If a US citizen with an Israeli student visa and Tav Yarok travels from the US to a red list country, then comes back to the US: how long does he have to be in the US and out of the red list country before he can go to Israel without problems? 10 days? 14 days? Thank you.

Was assuming I could not go to EY for sukkos.
Now I just saw that groups of 5 can come starting erev sukkos.
Am I too late to the game? Can I still get all approvals in time or at least for 2nd days?
small twist - just got my 2nd vax today

Halevai it worked like that.

I came here after seeing an ad from a tourist group saying that was an option - to get 5 ppl together, pay them 50$ each and theyll arrange all and hold our hands through the process.

So your'e saying thats not legit? Can you elaborate. Sorry if stupid question

Can't even say it sounds too good to be true. Who would do anything for that amount? This isn't 1961 when $50 was worth almost an ounce and a half of gold, it's 2021 where $50 will only buy less than 0.028 Oz. Of gold.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Sounds like a quick way to a future entry ban.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

It looks like they are only doing it for those who book airfare and hotels with them.  But for many that may not be a problem. And  if it is that simple, I don't see what is stopping the next travel agency from simply proving the "grouping" service as a stand alone.  Any official agents can confirm that they have this power??

Well that place says you need at least 15 days. If the tourist company actually enforces keeping the group together, then it is all above water.

They also say  "Travelers must be accompanied by a licensed tour guide during their trip".  If that is being done legitimately, I don't see how it won't be a very significant cost.

Getting more complicated leaving TLV. Friend took PCR test right after Shabbos and did not get results in time for flight this afternoon, had to cancel.
Someone who did leave told me that they made him sign that his PCR test results is real and not forged and warned him that if he's lying he will go to jail...
They're cracking down on the forged papers leaving IL

on the other hand, i know someone who thought children dont need tests, came 2 hours before his flight from TLV today, was told he cant board because his child didnt test, 45 minutes later he "magically" had a negative pcr done 4 hours ago, and was allowed to board...

Is there any clarity with regards to quarantine for someone flying in to Israel now with past serological test done in Israel in the last 6 months. Is the quarantine 7 days or 1 day?

No clarity, but no one checks on you

The question is whether I can leave the country after only a few days, not a whole week...
