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.

That's what the lady told me on the phone. Can you post the results from your test?



The clinic also stamped the bottom and attached a sticker that it looks like the testing machine spits out with the time, date control, machine ID and other stuff.

Odd.
What did they charge? Turnaround time? Did they pick for brain matter?

Postponed again, this time indefinitely

I also thought it wouldn't work for these reasons, pretty sure I mentioned it too.

Any returning university (not yeshiva/seminary) students out there already holding a student visa who have received a permit post-Pesach to return?  We are getting mixed messages from the school and consulate. Who has to issue the permit -the school from the authorities in Israel or the local consulate?  Do you need a new student visa, even if the old one has many months left on it?

It may not accurately reflect the situation on the ground, but the Israeli immigration authority directive is explicit than university students must apply via the consulate, except for a one-off batch procedure in Israel via the schools 'after Pesach'.

Exactly what I deduced from the wording.  But what I am trying to find out is what specifically is included in that one batch?

Well if you want to TOFTT, go to Walgreens and take the free IDNOW there and let us know if that works too :D

$175 for IDNow? That’s some real bank they’re making! And they’re calling it a PCR too, I didn’t realize it was, still not sure.

The test is free. It's $175 to get them to write PCR when it's a NAAT.

A bocher I know did not pass the antibodies test to be released from quarantine (he got 17 and they needed at least 20), but they let him out after showing a positive test result from June!

No, and I don't think he would know either. But the metric they used was 20+

Who put him into quarantine?
From what I'm hearing there is no enforcement...

No enforcement ≠ no quarantine.
