Is it possible to present at the border at the entrance to Israel from Russia a photocopy of the passport of the person you are traveling to, instead of an official invitation?
Responds Elena Astanina, head of the marketing communications department of the Russian Express company
There can not be any documents at the border, but if they ask, but you will not have return tickets with you with an invitation or a voucher for the hotel, then you will be turned back and tickets will have to be bought at your own expense.
You must follow the rules of entry and have an invitation or a voucher for accommodation and return tickets on hand.
