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.

Just looked to book something for DW in December. Gone are the wide open J saver availability and reasonably priced revenue J!
Yup. Been this way for a couple of weeks already...
Nearly every flight this week from NYC to TLV is completely sold out in business and premium.
I keep hearing how small numbers of heimishe are getting vaccinated, but apparently they're (the anti's) either making much more noise than what's reality, or there's a lot of faking docs going on...
Flights are literally packed, with every middle seat filled. Something that didn't happen (besides on rare occasion) since March 2020.

It is exactly for that reason that flights are filling up. Remember how everyone said that the 180 day rule is essentially closing the door on tourism? Well since the heimishe community, by and large wasn't vaccinating (not because of anti-vaxx baloney, rather because "we all had it already"), anyone who wants to go to EY has been vaccinating now just to go. I personally know dozens who have done that (myself included).

The ones who ran to get vaccinated last spring are way out of the 180 day window, and most are not eligible for boosters.

I got a Green Pass just by declaring vaccines on the Israeli Gov't application forms. Will report back if I am asked to show any kind of proof.

It seems the idea is an honor system with a severe penalty if caught (5y entry ban).

Flew JFK-TLV on DL 234 yesterday. Submitted health form 48 hrs before flight and included vaccine type and lot number (NOT picture as Amudim advised). Got a green pass instantly.  I was  not asked for vaccine proof anywhere during my travels. Took PCR at Ben Gurion aand got email with neg results two hours later. Maybe I got lucky but entire process was very smooth.

does anyone know if the hotels will let you check in while you await your PCR results?

We are staying at the Waldorf, they did not ask for green pass nor PCR result. Check-in as usual. The doorman did ask for vaccine proof which I showed on my phone. However I did see others enter without showing anything (they were not checking in we were though). The key is that you get the green pass before flying which is dated 24 hrs after arrival and
automatically valid pending a negative PCR result….

Just read the rules on the Israeli site and it says clearly that the passport # needs to be on the PCR report.

Also says that you need a PCR to go home. No rapid.

Does anyone have a different experience using the emed rapid?

Just filled out the Israeli form and I am hoping someone can help me.

It asked for an address to isolate. I put in the Hotel's address. ok? How many people staying there and how many rooms?

I entered my vaccine type and dates but I didn't see anywhere to enter lot number. Did I miss something?

I got a תצהיר כניסה לישראל but it says Not Vaccinated or Recovered | לא מחוסן/מחלים : Health Status | סטטוס בריאותי
You may board the plane | מאושר כניסה לישראל :Passenger status | סטטוס נוס.

I also got a Green Pass.

Am I good to go or did I do something wrong?

Do I need to upload my CDC vaccine card?

I am flying to Israel on Tomorrow, Tuesday.
I am having a difficult time with figuring out which link to use.
I am vaccinated in the US.
I tried to fill out this form:

https://govforms.gov.il/mw/forms/vaccine-or-recovery-documentation@health.gov.il#!request

I didn't upload my vax card because the upthread seem to state that it wasn't necessary.
The message I got was:

בקשתך לצירוף מסמכים למחוסן או מחלים מקורונה בכניסה לישראל נשלחה בתאריך: 16/11/2021 בשעה 05:34 ומועברת לטיפול.

בברכה,
משרד הבריאות

I haven't gotten a Tav Yerok yet.

I tried this form and it also required a vax upload:

https://corona.health.gov.il/flights/

It was asking me for isolation information.
I did not submit the form because I am not sure if that is the correct one.


All this information here is confusing.
Which form am I meant to fill?
Thank you in advance.

Does the PCR still need to have a passport number on it?

Do any urgent care's actually put it on or do I need to do it myself after?
According to the Hebrew site the passport number does have to appear. This does not appear on the English site. Not sure if the airlines are insisting on it.

Regarding the Urgent Cares. I reached out to one the Urgent Care places in Boro Park. They said that they will put on the passport numbers no problem if provided to them when taking the test.

I landed in Isreal 230pm yesterday. Monday. I am Leaving Thursday morning 1am. Is the negative Covid test I took in the airport on the way, which is less than 72 hours good to use when I leave? Or do I need a new one?

Why do you need a test for Israel, don't you get a tav yarok now?
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.
