How to get a residence permit?
There are several ways to obtain a residence permit in Israel. List of people who can apply for a residence permit:
- repatriates,
- spouse of a Jew,
- parents of an Israeli citizen,
- children of Israeli citizens,
- refugees,
- employees of Israeli companies.
Repatriation is the easiest and most popular way to move to Israel. Anyone who has Jewish relatives can use it. The most important thing is to prove your national and religious affiliation. To do this, birth certificates of the applicant, his parents, and grandparents are required. Extracts from synagogue books are also needed to prove that the person regularly attends the synagogue. Another proof is family photographs.
Marriage to a Jew does not guarantee citizenship. So, first a person receives a residence permit for a year, which is then extended. Spouses are checked to see if their marriage is fictitious or real.
Such checks can last up to seven years, and only then the foreign spouse receives the right to permanent residence.
An Israeli citizen has the right to transfer his parents . But for this, certain conditions must be met: the parents must not have other children, the mother must be over 65 years old and the father over 67, the relationship between parents and child must be constantly maintained, even despite living in different countries.
A person who has been persecuted in his native country because of his religious, political, nationality or social status can become a refugee You can obtain a residence permit only if there was a real threat to the life and health of a person or his family.
A work visa can only be obtained by those who are invited to the country by their employer. The applicant must have the necessary knowledge and skills, and the employer must prove that there are no specialists of the same level in Israel.
IMPORTANT! Compared to many other countries, in Israel a person’s financial situation does not give him the opportunity to obtain a residence permit. For example, opening a business or purchasing real estate will not be a reason to apply for a residence permit. The same applies to those who come to study. They receive a visa only for the duration of their studies without the right to extend it.
What documents are needed?
List of basic documents required to obtain a residence permit:
- A completed application form. You can get it at the Consulate.
- International passport.
- Photos.
- Insurance policy.
- A document confirming financial solvency.
- Papers providing grounds for obtaining a residence permit (marriage certificate, job invitation, confirmation of Jewish roots, etc.)

Where to contact?

Timing and cost
An application for a residence permit can be processed from one to three months. In particularly difficult cases, the consideration period is increased. Such a long period is associated with a thorough check of not only the person himself, but also his relatives.
The cost of submitting documents is 43 euros. It must be remembered that when applying for a residence permit through intermediaries, the amount may increase.
What to do in case of refusal?
A residence permit may be refused in two cases:
- the package of documents is incomplete or contains errors,
- the information provided by the applicant turned out to be false.
If a person does not agree with the decision, he has the right to appeal. The review period is usually 30 days. If you refuse again, you can go to court.

It’s funny to read the reviews of ardent “Jews”) Fools. This country is milking you to the fullest. Well, at least he can’t see the organs yet. Someone wrote here that they are using poor Israel as a platform to move on. And they do it right. It’s not because of satisfaction from the local color that everyone is running away from here. Only a few remain who believe that they have a new homeland here. Motherland is like a mother. There can only be one. If you were born in Russia, this is your homeland. Whether you like it or not. If these people don’t understand this, then what kind of dialogue can be had with them at all? A?)

Purgatory is sort of in the middle. It’s like you’re not completely shit, but you haven’t reached the top either. Grandfather said it’s good everywhere where we are not. And Confucius Three paths lead to knowledge: the path of reflection is the noblest path, the path of imitation is the easiest path, and the path of experience is the most bitter path.
Israel. This is something that some side of the world doesn’t care about, may God forgive me for my agricultural mistakes. If you didn’t feel like you were in Israel and felt the arrival. You will not advance in terms of standard of living on the other side of the world. And it is inappropriate to compare the scoop with the Israeli wabshe. The country deserves to survive for every alcoholic drug addict and disabled person. And it’s just that most people say that there are tourists here (fuck...) So you yourself are to blame for this. Shabbat Shalom
