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.

Passive-aggressive way to take credit and seem “nice”.
for some reason, my mobile view of his tweet came up as incomprehensible gibberish. and when im on the desktop view it changes to hebrew..that was weird
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Looks like your mobile view chokes on (some?) Unicode?

so with new law do people still need permission to enter?
or you can just go on a plane as long as you have where to isolate?

Someone can always apply - especially a guy in a dira or a family without the yeshiva letter and see if they get accepted... can't hurt.

I hear that if you have a Visa and you can show a positive anti bodies test you don’t need to quarantine. Can anyone confirm this?

For those on a student Visa form to fill out is here:
https://embassies.gov.il/new-york/ConsularServices/Pages/consular-department.aspx
You must have been in yeshiva in Israel for most of the past 12 months.
I'm not who you think I am.

I’ve also heard that upon arrival you can get a Covid-19 test that takes 3-5 days to get results and if you get a negative the remainder of the 14 day quarantine is waived. Can anyone confirm that either?

They didn’t offer me anything like that. Just took our temperature in airport.

That's because you came in from Israel to the US ;)

Do you have a student visa or working?
