TRAVELING FROM ISRAEL
I am an Israeli citizen/permanent resident. Can I leave the country freely?
Israeli citizens are allowed to leave Israel without limitations, with one exception: they are forbidden to visit a list of countries under a travel ban in light of their high morbidity. Currently the group includes Argentina, Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia and South Africa, and the list is updated every two weeks. Those who wish to visit these nations are required to apply for a permission from the special governmental committee devoted to this purpose (here). If they don’t, they can receive a fine. Layovers of less than 12 hours are allowed, provided that the passenger does not leave the airport.
