European travelling to Israel - September 2021

The answer keeps changing, and there are fine details.

Since the pandemic started, non-Israelis were generally denied entry to Israel, except with a special permit. A visa was not enough.

Starting 2021/11/01 this was relaxed, and vaccinated tourists were allowed in (under limitations).

Recently, due to the Omicron variant, this decision was temporarily reverted (Hebrew source). For 2 weeks starting 2021/11/28, foreigners are again not allowed to enter without a special permit.

The official Ministry of Health page doesn't seem to reflect this recent change.

These are the current entry restrictions to Israel in Hebrew, I couldn't find an English version.

  1. If you are not an Israeli citizen or permanent resident, you can't enter without a valid visa or an entry permit. Entry permit may be issued to if you have close relatives in Israel.

  2. There are no restrictions like lockdowns that should affect a tourist. However, every one entering must be in quarantine for two weeks, or one week with a negative PCR test and non Israeli citizens must have a valid COVID-19 health insurance. In addition many places are required to check for vaccination certificate
