Israel and immigration – answers to most common questions<\/h2>\n

Immigration to Israel is not an easy process. Writing about Israel immigration laws is even more complex, mainly due to the lack of a clear government immigration policy. For immigration in Israel, the main options are citizenship from birthright for Jews and their descendants, until the 3rd<\/sup> generation, who can legally make Aliyah<\/a> according to the \u201cLaw of Return\u201d. Legal status in Israel due to marriage or a relationship with an Israeli is also common. In special cases foreign nationals who have children legally living in the country as citizens or Israeli residents can acquire legal status in Israel according to Israel immigration rules. This is the case for parents of soldiers,<\/a> and also for lonely elderly parents<\/a> of a foreign spouse to an Israeli.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to consult with an Israeli immigration lawyer, since each case is different and needs to be examined by Israel immigration rules, as well as court verdicts, by Israel immigration tribunals.<\/p>\n

In this article, Advocate Joshua Pex, an Israel immigration lawyer with more than 10 years of experience, will answer some of your most pressing questions concerning Israel and immigration.<\/p>\n

Can anyone immigrate to Israel?<\/h2>\n

The answer to that is no. Israel does not see itself as an immigration destination for the world and does not have a general immigration policy. Rather, Israeli immigration policy is based on being the homeland for the Jewish people. Therefore, Israel immigration laws are few in number; regulations are made or changed due to relevant geo-political events, or political pressure. In general, Israel doesn’t enable foreign citizens to immigrate to Israel, unless they fit one of the categories below. You can read more about ways to receive Israeli citizenship in this article<\/a> on our website.<\/p>\n

Non-immigrant visas to Israel<\/h2>\n

Israel has various categories of non-immigrant visa, which apply for those foreign nationals who wish to enter Israel for a limited time and for a specific purpose. The most common is the B-2 tourist visa, with which around 3 million visitors enter Israel each year.<\/p>\n

The B-1 work visa<\/a> is granted to expert workers, as well as foreign workers in various fields such as agriculture, or caretaking of the elderly, since there are not enough Israeli workers to do the job.<\/p>\n

Israel immigration laws also grant non-immigrant visas to volunteers in Israel<\/a>. They enter the country for a limited time period, a maximum of 2 years, in order to help a local or international NGO, or government organization recognized by the Ministry of Social Affairs.<\/p>\n

A clergy visa to Israel is granted to religious workers in religions institutions recognized by the state of Israel. More nformation on the process of religious visa to Israel can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Israel has granted a special visa for American investors to Israel, who will invest substantial funds in the local economy. You can read more about the B-5 visa for citizens of the USA in this article<\/a> on our website.<\/p>\n

Another visa category regarding Israel immigration laws concerns the migration of asylum seekers to Israel, and permits given to them. You can read more about the legal status of refugees and asylum seekers on our website, in this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who is eligible for immigration in Israel?<\/h2>\n

Israel immigration rules mainly exist to serve those who wish to make an \u2018Aliyah’. Aliyah is a process by which Jews or people with Jewish roots are eligible under the \u2018Law of Return\u2019 to immigrate to Israel and receive their Israeli citizenship alongside their spouses and their children.<\/a><\/p>\n

Is Israel immigration possible if I am not Jewish?<\/h2>\n

Yes, Israel is defined as a Jewish and Democratic state and Israel immigration rules reflect this reality. In specific areas of the law, there is no difference if you are Jewish or not, and over the years the Israeli immigration policy developed in such a way to allow relatives of Israelis to join them living in Israel. However, we do recommend consulting with an immigration lawyer to get a clear answer about your specific case with Israel and immigration.<\/p>\n

In any case, it is possible for non-Jews to immigrate to Israel when the following conditions apply:<\/p>\n
