1. Corona tests before flight

The Ministry of Health defines that all passengers departing from Israel, who have been in Israel for more than 72 hours, will present to the airline representative before take-off a negative corona test result (PCR) for carrying the corona virus.

This provision does not apply to those who hold a certificate of immunization or a certificate of Israeli recovery with regard to the obligation to leave the country.



However, it must be emphasized that a significant number of airports in the world will require a PCR test as a condition of entry into the country even if you are vaccinated or recovering, so passengers must verify the borders and requirements of the destination country before flying.



In the meantime, it is mandatory to fill out a declaration of departure form from Israel at least 24 hours before the flight

at the following link

.

The form must fill in your personal details and those of the accompanying passengers and a statement that you will not visit the country defined as a maximum level of risk (red country), unless you have received approval from the Exceptions Committee.

Citizens and residents over the age of 16 are required to fill out the form.

  • Vaccinated and recovering who do not perform a PCR test because they think they are exempt from testing.

  • Performing a corona test at a health insurance fund that is not valid for flights.
