Starting May 23, 2021, Israel will start implementing the first stage of the program by allowing the entry of foreign groups, including Filipinos.
Philippine passport holders can enjoy visa-free entry to Israel for up to a 90-days stay.
Based on the initial outline agreed upon by the Tourism and Health ministries of Israel, a limited number of groups will start to arrive on May 23 and will increase based on the health situation and progress of the program.
Individual travelers will be allowed entry to Israel in the second stage, the timeline of which will be determined by the state of the country’s health situation amid the pandemic.
