Entry restrictions
Israel has restricted the entry of all travelers who are not nationals or residents of Israel. Ben-Gurion Airport remains closed to all travelers until at least March 6, both entering and exiting Israel due to a ban on incoming flights. Exceptions may be available for a humanitarian need, a special personal reason, a funeral of a close family member, medical treatment, and/or returning to your country of origin. Travelers who are in a humanitarian need or a special personal reason to leave Israel must request a special permission to fly from Israel during the lockdown. Travelers who have specific entry approval from the population and Immigration Authority of Israel may still enter the country.
Entry requirementsAll arriving travelers must present a completed "Health Declaration Form" upon arrival. Travelers will be subject to a health inspection and temperature check on arrival. Travelers must have a medical certificate with a negative COVID-19 PCR test result issued within 72 hours prior to departure or a confirmation of having been vaccinated against COVID-19. Travelers over the age of 2 must submit documentation of a negative test result. Travelers who have already recovered from a COVID-19 infection must provide the airline with a copy of a positive COVID-19 test and a letter from their medical provider documenting recovery and clearance to travel.
Quarantine requirementsFrom December 20, all countries will be considered "red" with all travelers required to complete a 14 day self-isolation. This may be shortened to 10 days upon the completion of two negative coronavirus tests (one upon arrival and one after 9 days of self-isolation). Travelers from the UK, Denmark or South Africa will be required to complete quarantine in a designated, state-sponsored coronavirus hotel.
Transiting rulesForeign nationals may not transit in Israel.
All other infoTravelers may not use public transport to travel to their dwelling, except a single-passenger taxi, provided they sit in the back of the taxi with the windows open. Family members arriving together may travel together as long as everyone sits in the back.
