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 got a tav yarok based on a serological test, but now it just shows an error. Is it because I don't have an HMO?
I assume you tried applying for a new one?

Yes. The original one they sent me without applying, based on canceling bidud with a serological test.

You have to try multiple times until it works. The system is overloaded

When LEAVING Israel to return to the US ...can I use one of the Abbot Covid 19 ag tests? Will that be enough for Israel to let me leave?

AFAIK it's enough only if you have a valid tav yarok. Otherwise you need a PCR to leave Israel

I applied after 11pm ET, and got it instantly. I had a teudat hachlama that expired in June.

The EU vaccine passport is a big deal.
We've talked about it but apparently it's official.
If you have a valid digital EU certificate, you're automatically recognized in the Israeli database and issued a tav yarok after the negative PCR done at BGI

Agreed, but many people vaccinated in the EU have presumably been vaccinated more then 6 months ago and not all EU countries have rolled out the booster shots yet.

do you think this will help any Americans (without pdf's)
by November most Americans will already be 6 months after the vaccine?

So by the time Israel reopens to vaccinated Americans, none of us under 65 will qualify  ::)
