An Oleh immigrant is someone who possesses Israeli citizenship, but did not make Israel their center of life<\/a> as an adult. A returning minor generally left Israel with their parents as a minor. A citizen-immigrant was often born abroad and obtained citizenship as the child of an Israeli citizen. Although Israeli Citizens, immigrant-citizens can obtain benefits similar to those enjoyed by new immigrants<\/a> (Olim), according to the Law of Return, upon returning to Israel, their homeland.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Aliyah and Integration<\/a> and the Construction and Housing Ministry automatically provide assistance to an Oleh immigrant, However, the citizen-immigrant must first obtain recognition as such from the Interior Ministry. Other bodies who assist immigrants also provide benefits, but a direct application is required.<\/p>\n

Our law offices specialize in relocation, immigration, and obtaining official status in Israel. Michael Decker, immigration attorney for Israel, will define the status of immigrant citizen and returning minor and explain the rights that accrue to someone with that status.<\/p>\n

What is a Citizen immigrant?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"OlehA citizen immigrant, according to the Knesset Information and Research Center, is “someone who was born abroad to a parent who was an Israeli citizen, and is entitled to the status of a new immigrant, according to the Law of Return, despite already being an Israeli citizen.”<\/p>\n

This status primarily applies to children born abroad to parents who were Israeli citizens. Their parents were given the option to go to the nearest Israeli embassy or consulate within 30 days of the child’s birth, and request that the child be registered as a citizen<\/a>. Section 4 of the Citizenship Law states that children born to Israeli citizens are also citizens from the day of they are born, whether in Israel or abroad.<\/p>\n

However, it is not always clear who a child’s parents are. This is particularly the case regarding the identity of the father when the parents were unmarried or only married for a short time before the child’s birth.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, if the mother is an Israeli citizen and she applies to the consulate within 30 days of the child’s birth, there is generally no problem with registering the child as an Israeli citizen. If only the father is an Israeli citizen, he will be required to present proof of his relationship \/ marriage to the foreign citizen. If the father does not register the child as an Israeli within 30 days of birth, or does not succeed in convincing the consular agents that the child is his (for example, if he was not married to the mother for a full year before the birth), he will often be requested to undergo a paternity test<\/a> \u00a0to prove his paternity and the child’s resultant eligibility for Israeli citizenship.<\/p>\n

Who is a returning minor?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Someone who obtained Israeli citizenship (either after immigrating together with his parents or as the child of an Israeli citizen), and left Israel (usually due to moving abroad with their parents) before the age of 14, and returned to Israel after the age of 17. During the time between leaving Israel and returning as a returning minor, the minor had to have lived abroad for at least 4 consecutive years (for a minimum of 8 months a year).<\/p>\n

A returning minor must be a former citizen and resident of Israel, who would have been eligible for immigration according to the law of return if he or she had not been a citizen.<\/p>\n

Staying in Israel and eligibility for the status of citizen immigrant or returning minor<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As stated above, if a returning minor or citizen immigrant returns to stay in Israel permanently without applying for a special status, the right to benefits as a returning minor or Oleh immigrant expires after a few years. However, there are a variety of circumstances under which it is possible to remain in Israel without renouncing the right to obtain the status of an immigrant, with its associated state assistance, in the future.<\/p>\n
