Year 2013 Christian Pilgrimage - Purchase of Pilgrims Travelling Allowance

The Trade and Exchange Department notifies authorized dealers and the general public of arrangements for the purchase of pilgrims' traveling allowance (PTA) for the 2013 Christian pilgrimage to Israel, Rome, or Greece. Each intending pilgrim is entitled to a maximum of $750 for travel to Israel or up to $1,000 for Israel/Rome or Greece. No tax clearance certificate is required and states can have their chairman or secretary sign on behalf of the pilgrims. The PTA will be issued at the entry points in Israel and Italy. Air tickets and visas are not required for obtaining PTA. A list with assigned banks for procuring PTA is attached, and returns must be submitted within two weeks after the exercise concludes.
