In the event you seek a visa to Israel for a foreign journalist, this article addresses some of what you need to know about the process.
Coming to the Country
The Israeli Government Press Office (GPO) deals with providing press cards and visas to foreign journalists. It is possible to obtain a visa to Israel for a foreign journalist by first coming to Israel on a tourist visa, which will grant the individual a three month status in the country. Once here, the foreign journalist should submit an application to the Israeli Government Press Office, specifically applying for a temporary press card.
The GPO Press Card Process
Prior to seeking a visa to Israel for a foreign journalist, it is important to note that a first time applicant will be subject to a security review. This GPO security review essentially examines whether or not the foreign journalist is a threat based on a few criteria: whether the applicant has ever committed a crime in Israel, whether the applicant was ever deported from Israel, or whether the applicant comes from or is working for a country hostile to Israel.
It is important that the foreign journalist seeking an Israeli visa does not work in Israel until he or she has the proper paperwork — the temporary press card and then later the B-1 visa — as working in Israel without a permit or press card is a criminal offense, and this can prevent future work in Israel as well.
Visa to Israel for a Foreign Journalist
The temporary press card will allow the journalist to work in Israel for a few months while applying for a B-1 work visa through the Ministry of Interior. Our law office has extensive experience applying for B-1 work visas, and we provide resources about the B-1 visa on our website.
