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.

I presume it means positive PCR. When there is any ambiguity I presume they are being machmir over the current rules.

via the website.
I did not have someone in Israel try to get my application in locally.
Although, the application does ask you to chose your local/embassy or consulate- im doubtful that they are being processed that way any lognger- i feel like that might have been a one-off to assist with getting the holiday applications in.

We applied in July via the US website, and got approval timely.
When we applied via US website in late August, we got no response...still no response!
But we had our daughter in Israel apply via the Israeli site for us...she still had to go in person to the Misrad Hapnim three times, but eventually got us the isshurs.

I didnt apply in a consulate- i applied via the website which i believe is run by Misrad HaPnim (Interior Ministry).
However, they do ask on application, after choosing your nationality, which consulate so I elected toronto

Impossible to get through....no answer whatsoever.     Finally got a response on Whatsapp saying please wait (last week it has been saying "closed").

By the way -- still no clearance from Thursday submission.

Finally was able to get through on the phone.   *5400 never answered, but 08-6241010 finally did...Perhaps that was just luck

She got released from Bidud, was given a Covid Certificate and a Tav Yarok

My relatives applied last week Sunday and got approved on Friday. I didn't have to do anything besides share my documents. The application was submitted to the Washington embassy.

Did you try saline/ nasal irrigation?
My understanding is that it would get rid of lingering dead covid particles, but if you actually still had Covid, it would still be picked up.
