Covid-19 Travel Update: 21st of February 2021

Entry Permits and Updated Directive for New and Returning International Students:

Due to the latest decision of the Israeli government, the borders of the State of Israel will remain closed until March 6th.

Entry permits are not currently being issued until further notice.

Exceptions can be granted on humanitarian or lifesaving grounds after examination by a special committee.

 

Special committee request: https://www.gov.il/en/service/special-request-to-fly (in Hebrew only)

Please Note:

  1. Entry into Israel will only be permitted with a special entry permit (in addition to your visa).

The International Office will be happy to assist returning students with requesting entry permits on your behalf directly to the Immigration Authorities when consular services resume. New students will be required to receive entry permits from their local embassy/consulate.

  1. Passengers arriving from foreign countries will now be required to present a negative PCR test performed 72 hours prior to air travel to be allowed into Israel. An additional test will have to be performed upon landing.
  2. Due to the dynamic situation, travel disruptions can be expected and very few flights are maintained.
  3. Students are requested to follow the updates issued by their local embassy/consulate, as well as university announcements.
  4. When the restrictions are lifted, our teams will assist with quarantine arrangements, food provisions and transport, as always. 

Kindly notify the International Office of your travel plans prior to departure.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will keep you informed.

Best Wishes,

 

The International Office Team
