Israel reopens borders to all tourists

Israel announced on Sunday Feb. 20 that it will allow unvaccinated tourists to enter the country next month. Beginning on March 1st, Israel will open its borders to tourists irrespective of their vaccination status. Other measures, such as PCR tests before and upon arrival, will remain in place.

From March 1st, Israel will permit foreign visitors to enter the country for tourism purposes regardless of whether they are vaccinated or unvaccinated. Israel has kept its borders shut to unvaccinated tourists since March 2020.

All foreign tourists will still need to take a PCR test pre-departure and upon arrival. This will also entail a 24-hour quarantine period until they have received their test result.
