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.

Yes that is the new process, reach out to the yeshiva which you have a visa from. If they plan on reopening then they are going to be in touch with the misrad hapanim
what if the person has a visa he got from mir but he switched yeshivos?

FWIW they don't automatically cancel a visa even if you're no longer a student. Worked to my disadvantage once.

at his point you can not apply for a ishur ,you need the yeshiva to apply for you.

There was an article in the Mishpacha or Ami recently about an Israeli organization that specializes in these things. They have a call center and whatsapp groups all over the world. I don't remember the name, but maybe someone else does.

I hear TLV is looking to do on site testing with results in 15 minutes (unclear if it's for Covid or antibodies), this might be the deciding factor in opening up.

How about someone with an Israeli passport entering Israel now (for example on UA90) are they enforcing any quarantine requirements?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
