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.

I am trying to determine who recently was accepted by Misrad Hapnim for first degree relative because Israel citizen I know was told applicant should apply with consulate in their foreign county yet the ny consulate automatic email reply says:

"due to high volume  of applications processing time is longer.
As an alternative- if you have first degree relatives in Israel they can apply in your behalf at The Ministry Of Population and Immigration offices."
 ::)


I know a few people that received the authorization for their relatives from the misrad hapnim in Tel Aviv, all done by email but the Israeli citizen has to send the application not the foreigner

Unless they change their policy to allow kids of the vaccinated like France does

They world really needs to recognize natural immunity.
It's really getting ridiculous and I'm hearing that from healthcare professionals themselves!

El Al says they may discontinue the requirement for an antibody test soon.

Stop whining and man up and go take a vaccine.

It's not a requirement, and definitely not related to LY.
The antibody test is a way to cancel/shorten the quarantine for those who haven't been vaccinated in Israel

At first I wasn't going to dignify that with a response, but on 2nd thought....
Even putting aside all the emerging studies that natural immunity may be just as effective - or possibly more effective - than getting vaccinated, are you not aware that there are many people, due to various medical conditions and/or age, that simply can't "man up" and get the vaccine?
Do you even realize how offensive your statement was?

Correct, I was being terse, and meant the Foreign Ministry when I said them.

I'm a dual ISR/USA citizen who was vaccinated in the USA (second in April.)

I'm trying to figure out what exactly are the rules for me in terms of getting in and ordering a serology test etc. I'm headed to Israel June 21.

Israeli citizens have no entry restrictions.
You just need a negative PCR to fly, then you need to do a serology test in Israel to get out of quarantine

Is that done upon landing? I heard something about ordering tests?

You have to arrange it privately. Some services may meet you at the airport.
