gradual process<\/a>. But what about a child adopted abroad by parents who are citizens or residents of Israel?<\/p>\nThe relevant procedure of the Ministry of the Interior is “the procedure for granting an entry visa to a child adopted abroad”. The adoption process is managed by a local association under the supervision of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. Most of the bureaucratic paperwork abroad and the entry of the child to Israel is carried out by the association. The applicants must stay in Israel for three of the five years preceding the request.<\/p>\n
The adoptive parents must apply for a permanent residency visa for the adopted child. The required documents include a certificate of adoption issued abroad, and a medical certificate from the association’s doctor.<\/p>\n
Aliyah After Adoption for “Fourth Generation” immigrants – Great grandchildren of Jews<\/h4>\n
As stated above, the Right of Return to Israel is open to Jews, children to Jews, and grandchildren to Jews. In addition, the right is provided to spouses of Jews, and spouses of children or grandchildren of Jews. The right of Aliyah of minor children who are “fourth generation” descendants to Jews (whose parents or parent are grandchildren to Jews) is not specified in the Law of Return.<\/p>\n
However, since the State of Israel does not wish to force families to choose between aliyah and separation from children, fourth-generation minors also have the right to immigrate to Israel with their families. Great-grandchildren to Jews and children from previous marriage of spouses who are entitled to aliyah can come to Israel only as minors, along with their parents. It is important to note that as adults, they are not allowed to immigrate to Israel.<\/p>\n
After making aliyah, the fourth generation immigrants do not receive the same benefits from the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption that are given to minors who are eligible for aliyah in their own right. However, after reaching the age of 18, they can become naturalized citizens or receive permanent residency status. After receiving the legal status, they are considered citizens of Israel in every respect.<\/p>\n
