As of  March 1, 2022  Israel began welcoming all tourists, vaccinated and unvaccinated, with an ease of entry restrictions.

The decision came as a result of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz and Tourism Minister, Yoel Razvozov, studying the steady decline in morbidity data and based on this information decided to open the borders to all incoming foreign travelers and ease entry requirements.

Now 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:

“We are thrilled that the government has taken steps to fully reopen Israel to all travelers around the world. This ease in restrictions allows for more travelers to enter our country while also ensuring the health and wellbeing of all. Despite the country’s closure over the past two years, we are back and better than ever and travelers can expect refurbished historical sites with increased accessibility, new hotels, new museums and more.”
