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.

Everything is subject to change and could get updated. UK recently went from green to red.

Most importantly. Don't expect anything to make sense. You won't have any questions.

Sie reisen aus einem Risikogebiet nach Deutschland ein? Dann müssen Sie einen negativen Corona-Test vorlegen oder sich direkt nach Ankunft nach Hause - oder an Ihren Zielort - begeben und zwei Wochen lang isolieren (häusliche Quarantäne). Und Sie müssen sich sofort bei Ihrem zuständigen Gesundheitsamt melden. Das Corona-Testergebnis darf höchstens 48 Stunden alt sein.

Entering Germany from at risk country, you have to show a negative C-Test, not more than 48 hold or be in Quarantene for two weeks. Report to the health department immediately.

Your point being? Isn't that an old (in the COVID-19 world) policy?

סוף לבלגן הקורונה בנתב"ג? עמדות בדיקה לנגיף הקורונה הותקנו, כך אנו מפרסמים היום (שני), עבור הנוסעים והשבים דרך נמל התעופה בן גוריון. מחיר הבדיקות, שינותחו במעבדה שתיבנה בהמשך בנמל התעופה, יעמוד על כ-50 שקלים בלבד. במשרד הבריאות עדיין לא אישרו את המעבדה המדוברת, שיכולה לפתור בעיות רבות

From 29.10. anyone can travel freely to Switzerland, from any country, no quarantine required.
Besides four countries, Belgium, Andorra, Armenien, Tschechien.  These have to quarantine.

Switzerland is still a red country from an Israeli standpoint

Regarding getting a permit for a Simcha like a birth etc..., what's the realistic time from sending in the documents to receiving the permit?

Covid-19 testing facilities at LLBG to open tomorrow, but no effect on incoming traffic (due to political reasons).

In other political news, a ruling that would have allowed Eilat and Dead Sea hotels to open was withdrawn prior to the vote because the final version would have included the option to add other locations that would fit the criteria.

14 hours to get the results (for the cheaper test).. do they expect people to spend the day in LLBG ahead of their flights?

They clearly write that it's an option for people to obtain a lower cost test prior to the day of travel.

Not sure if the right hashtag for this is #Chelem or #Sdom
