This is relatively simple for most applicants. It looks into the applicant\u2019s record to ensure that no crimes have been committed in Israel, the applicant never overstayed a visa or for any other reason faced deportation from Israel, and that the applicant is not employed by an enemy or hostile country. \u00a0Do note that there are cases where the GPO is willing to make exceptions, so it is helpful to apply or employ the services of an experienced law firm in the event the foreign journalist is concerned about meeting the criteria for the security review.<\/span><\/p>\n Our articles on various types of longer-term<\/a> and shorter-term press cards<\/a>\u00a0address this in more detail, but essentially a visiting journalist press card or temporary press card is valid for three to four months. \u00a0A standard GPO card, of which there are various types, is often valid for two years in the event the foreign journalist has a steady, full-time position in a media outlet. <\/span><\/p>\n We have written articles on various topics related to Israeli press office cards, including getting a visa for a foreign journalist<\/a> and addressing GPO card rejections<\/a>, cancellations and suspensions<\/a>.<\/span> Feel free to read more if the topics are of interest to you.<\/span><\/p>\n If you seek an Israeli press office card for a foreign journalist and would like assistance with the application process, feel free to contact us. \u00a0Advocate Michael Decker has extensive experience helping numerous members of local and foreign media obtain press cards in Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n [author_and_contact_info]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This article addresses how to obtain an Israeli press office card for a foreign journalist.
