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.

Seems to be confirmed




Antigen work? Or just PCR?

@Dan, from PM office PR:

The Cabinet also decided that whoever seeks to board a flight to Israel will be required to present the requisite airline personnel with confirmation of a negative PCR coronavirus test that had been carried out during the 72 hours prior to take-off or, alternatively, confirmation of having been vaccinated or of having recovered that has been issued by the Health Ministry. This procedure will apply to travelers who were outside Israel for 72 hours or more, except for special permits that have been individually approved, and to air crew members who will be in Israel for 72 hours or more. This regulation will take effect at 00:00 on Saturday, 23 January 2021.

Green passports don't exist yet. The project hasn't been finalized yet.

However there are certificates of vaccination being given to those who received the 2 shots.. They didn't provide details yet

What about those that have תעודת מחלים?

Isn't that implied in "having recovered that has been issued by the Health Ministry"?

עדכון ממשרד הבריאות

מחלימים ומחוסנים ישראלים שמעודכנים במערכת של משרד הבריאות יהיו פטורים מהצגת בדיקת קורונה שלילית בחזרתם לארץ.


Whether airlines (other than LY) will be able (or want) to make that distinction is a different question.

Has there been anything written regarding connections? Do you measure from the flight? How long of a connection? etc

Why? A foreign “תעודת מתחסן” could be forged. It could also theoretically (albeit unlikely in Israel) mean someone got a Russian or Chinese vaccine which haven’t been clinically proven to be effective.

Not for a month. Until the end of the month (5 days).

What difference does 5 days make, over requiring all arrivals to quarantine at a quarantine hotel or some other measures (e.g. negative PCR within 72/96 hours)?

It's all PR move/negotiating tactic to pass electronic tracking of home quarantine (Taiwan model) but to the point, thousands of people are coming every day and there aren't enough quarantine hotels.

What is this electronic tracking thing? A device they give you? How do they enforce you keeping it on your person at all times and not just leaving it home when you leave?
