Since the beginning of the corona pandemic, Israel has largely isolated itself from foreign tourists. For long periods, even citizens could only enter the country with great difficulty. That should change on July 1, 2021.

2019 was a record year for Israel's tourism. Never before have there been so many holidaymakers in the country, but then Corona came. The government sealed off the small country to a large extent and in the last few months still struggled with the exact time of the tourist comeback.

From July 1, 2021, people who can prove that they have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus will be able to go on vacation to Israel again. The exact design is still being worked out, but it is already foreseeable that the vaccination certificate will most likely not be sufficient. In addition, Israel could insist on submitting a negative PCR result. It is also considered whether another smear should be taken after landing or whether the travelers are really vaccinated against Covid-19 using an antibody test.

It is currently also being considered that a negative PCR test must be presented at the exit control. If Israel implements this, tourists would have to do a corona test on site in good time before their flight home and then present the results before leaving. With this measure, Israel wants to protect itself and conclude further safe travel agreements. According to current information, there will be no possibility of entering Israel without a vaccination.
