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.

Fill out and print the following entry declaration for each traveler. Click here to enter the entry declaration page
Fill out and print the following Self Isolation declaration for each traveler. Click here to enter the Self Isolation declaration page


How long before a flight are you supposed to fill these out? I am traveling on a Motzei Shabbos, so when should I fill them out
Within 24 hours but they're buggy and won't let you put a departure date that's later than the date you're filing it out. So I put the prior day, and it wasn't questioned

Quick question- any update on a non-citizen getting a Green pass to Ramzor app? Some have said they were able to get it done but unclear to me how. Thanks.

I am sure there are, but I'm not the person to ask about that. Haven't been to Jerusalem in quite a few years. Definitely not since Covid-19 hit.
Wait you were in Israel twice but not in Jerusalem? Not even to the קויסעל?

Over the past several years I have been to Israel more than twice (on average 3x per year, with the exception of COVID restricted time where I wasn't there for about 13 consecutive months) and with the exception of one visit to Ariel to explore some business, I don't recall when was the last time I was east of LLBG. (Unlike many here, I don't really go to Israel for the sake of going to Israel, I go there mostly for the purpose of seeing certain people).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Fair enough. I live here and I'm sure there are people that live stateside that are at the Kosel more often than me.

Our flight is at 12 am on Tuesday. When do I need to get a pcr test before going on the plane? Can I get my family tested on Friday even though it would be around 80 hours before?

No. Must get antibody test in Israel.
they are asking for proof of recovery when applying - what can use for this?

The Israeli Consulate in Los Angele's website shows there is an exception for children under 4 - while the NYC website clearly states "all ages"....

We did. One of 3 applications got through. The one that worked was under 5 MB- including the email (not just the pdf). You will know if they will accept it if you get an email back later in the day that they received it and it will take 7 days. They sent the ishur in 3 days.

I would resend the file. Make sure your not missing anything and the file size is small enough. I tried everything and in the end my email to the consulate is what worked.

what is the absolute fastest possible way to get COVID test for flight from TLV to NYC.  Passenger mistakenly thought vaccinated people don't need test and is trying to check in at the airport. Obviously, they are not letting them....any ideas??

I don't think he's getting results on time for a flight tonight from them.

Photoshop lab would be fastest, otherwise maybe something private, but it will probably cost a nice fortune to get it that fast.
