April 6th, local time, the Israeli Population and Immigration Bureau announced that people who have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus or recovered from COVID-19 abroad can enter Israel to visit their first-level relatives (parents, children, brothers and sisters) from now on.
Foreigners preparing to enter Israel must submit a formal application to the Israeli Population and Immigration Bureau and obtain approval before arrival.
A visitor must present a certificate of COVID-19 vaccination or a certificate of COVID-19 recovery, as well as a certificate of first-degree kinship with the visited person; in addition, foreign travelers must be tested for COVID-19 within 72 hours of arrival in Israel.
It is reported that since the outbreak of COVID-19 last year, non-Israeli citizens and residents have been banned from entering Israel.
