Israel is Open to All Tourists Once Again

Updated: Aug 24, 2022


As of March 1, 2022 travelers of all ages can enter the country with two negative PCR tests (one prior to departure and the second after landing in Israel). All entering will be required to quarantine in their hotel until they receive the result of a negative PCR or 24 hours – whichever comes first. With the announcement, Tourism Commissioner Eyal Carlin shared:


It is important to note that while vaccinated and unvaccinated alike can freely enter Israel, upon filling out the entry statement, only vaccinated individuals will receive a “Green Pass.” Furthermore, in the case of exposure to a positive COVID case, vaccinated tourists will be exempt from needing to quarantine, whereas unvaccinated individuals will have to quarantine for 5 days. In the case of a tourist testing positive for COVID, the individual will be required to self isolate in a COVID hotel at their own expense regardless of vaccination status. In summary, as of March 1st, the guidelines for entry include:

  • Taking a PCR test 72 hours before an outbound flight, filling out a passenger declaration, and a taking a PCR test upon arrival in Israel then quarantining in a hotel until negative results are returned or 24 hours pass (whichever happens first).

Then as of March 8th, entry guidelines also require:

  • Having health insurance that covers the costs of medical treatment of COVID--this is standard in most travel insurances now, but it is the travelers’ responsibility to verify this prior to departure.
