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.

Have the new rules been posted officially? Any exception for under 2?
From what I'm seeing, looks like under 12 months might also need to be vaccinated (which is obviously not possible) or recovered.

In the past under 12 months, it was never an issue.

Entered as an Israeli a few weeks ago, was super quick, even without a biometric passport. The PCR barn couldn't have taken more then 10 minutes, I prepaid for it. If you don't prepay I can see why it takes MUCH longer.

PCR line (prepaid) was out the door, my guy took us to the front of the line.

I know this is Israel, but when will the official government rules on allowing tourists on November 1 be put out? Isn't November 1 a few days away?

They give you 30 days for when you get the Ishur to enter Israel. Does this go based on the departure date or arrival date.

If I have an Ishur dated September 28th, can I get on a flight tomorrow night arriving on Thursday?

https://www.globes.co.il/news/article.aspx?did=1001388749

ההגדרות על פי המתווה לפי סוגי החיסונים הן:
● זרים שחוסנו בשני חיסונים של פייזר, וחלפו 7 ימים או יותר מהחיסון השני ביום כניסתם לישראל (אך לא יותר מ-180 יום בעת עזיבתם את ישראל).

● זרים שחוסנו בשני חיסונים של מודרנה, אסטרהזנקה, סינובאק וסינופארם, וחלפו 14 ימים או יותר מהחיסון השני ביום כניסתם לישראל (אך לא יותר מ-180 יום בעת עזיבתם את ישראל).

● זרים שחוסנו בחיסון אחד של יאנסן, וחלפו 14 ימים או יותר מהחיסון ביום כניסתם לישראל (אך לא יותר מ-180 יום בעת עזיבתם את ישראל).

● זרים שחוסנו במנת דחף של פייזר (כלומר חיסון שלישי), וחלפו 7 ימים או יותר מהחיסון ביום כניסתם לישראל.

● זרים שחוסנו במנת דחף של מודרנה, סינובאק, אסטרהזניקה, יאנסן, וחלפו 14 ימים או יותר מהחיסון ביום כניסתם לישראל.

נציין כי במתווה אין התייחסות לילדים לא מחוסנים המתלווים להורים מחוסנים - מה שרוב המדינות מתירות, גם ארה"ב שפותחת שעריה לתיירים מחוסנים מאירופה מה-8 בנובמבר.

המתווה כולל גם התייחסות למחלימים מקורונה, והוא מתיר כניסה לזרים שהחלימו המציגים אישור לתוצאה חיובית בבדיקת NAAT (בדיקה מולקולרית דוגמת PCR), וחלפו 11 יום או יותר מהבדיקה ביום כניסתם לישראל (ולא חלפו יותר מ-180 יום ביום עזיבתם). בנוסף, יורשו להיכנס זרים שהחלימו וקיבלו לפחות מנה אחת מהחיסונים שאושרו על-ידי ארגון הבריאות העולמי.

קבוצות יצטרכו לבצע מספר בדיקות
- פרסומת -

בשורה חשובה לקבוצות היא שאין צורך בבדיקה סרולוגית, אלא שבשורה פחות טובה היא שתידרש בדיקת אנטיגן יומית או בדיקת PCR, פעם ב-72 שעות למשך 14 יום מהכניסה לישראל.

קבוצות שיקבלו פטור מבידוד על סמך התנהלות כקפסולה, כלומר במסגרת של תיירות מאורגנת, כוללות תיירים שהתחסנו בחיסון שאושר על-ידי ארגון הבריאות העולמי, במגבלה של עד 2,000 תיירים ביום למי שלא שהו במדינה אדומה או מדינה באזהרת מסע חמורה ב-14 הימים שקדמו לכניסתם לישראל.

התנהלות הקבוצה בישראל תהיה כקפסולה, ללא זמן חופשי ועם הגבלות על הסתובבות במקומות שבהם ישנו סיכון מוגבר להדבקה.

Now that this is official and November 1 is a few days away, let's all wait to see if this process really works. Call me skeptical.

If I understand correctly, you need to fill out a form within 48 hours and upload your vaccination card. Since the US is not connected to Israel's Green Pass system, you will need to upload your CDC card. I imagine this will have to be approved manually. What are the chances of getting someone in Israel to look at and approve a paper vaccine card within 48 hours to get the approval to board?

Can't wait to hear how this works in real life. Hopefully someone will post here next week that tried.

Has there been any update from official government sources on this plan? I have a ticket leaving on Monday and want to make sure I'm good to go once I fill out this form that is apparently coming. Had to get a booster last week (Pfizer mix and match so only 7 days instead of Moderna's 14) so I could go.

According to Yad L'Olim: As of November 1, Israel will ONLY accept digital recovery from the EU (and likely the UK). All other forms of recovery will not be recognized such as a positive Covid test done in America. This means if coming from America, only a vaccination card will be accepted.

Data point - if it helps anyone

I landed Wednesday late afternoon took a serological test with testNgo results were in within half hour, got an email from misrad habriut a couple of hours later that I am out of bidud, no phone calls or bidud exit forms needed.

You need to select that you recovered in chu"l on the entry form in order for it to go automatic, if you don't serological will not get you out of bidud.
