Following the Government's approval to re-open Israel’s skies to vaccinated tourists, the Israel Ministry of Tourism is announcing the launch of a dedicated landing page on its website for tourist entry requirements. 

The landing page incorporates useful information related to local Covid-19 guidelines that a tourist would need to meet in order to visit Israel.

In general, these are the requirements:

  1. Be Fully Vaccinated with the last dose having been administered within 180 days from the tourist's scheduled departure from Israel.
  2. Take A PCR test 72 hours before the outbound flight to Israel or a rapid antigen test in the 24 hours before the outbound flight to Israel (not a home test).
  3. Fill out the passenger entry statement form (MOH website).
  4. Take a PCR test upon arrival at the airport then quarantine in a hotel until results return or 24 hours pass (whichever happens first). 

I hope that things will only go in a positive direction from this point forward.
