internal appeal<\/span><\/a> against the refusal decision can be submitted to the bureau manager. If the internal appeal is also rejected, it is always possible to submit an appeal to the Appeals Tribunal. As part of the appeal, the tribunal will examine the feasibility of the decision and decide whether or not it should be changed. It is even possible to further appeal the decision before the Court for Administrative Affairs. As of the date this article was written, no judicial decisions have been made regarding the Coronavirus situation and the extension of visas in Israel for foreign nationals. <\/span><\/p>\nHowever, when examining previous cases that the courts ruled on we can see that there is a willingness to intervene in different situations. For instance, in the case of a tourist who came from Thailand for a month and stayed with an Israeli acquaintance, the Court for Administrative Affairs overturned the decision of the Ministry of Interior to refuse an extension of stay in Israel for three months. The decision was given out of concern that the tourist would put down roots in Israel. The court ruled that solutions to these concerns can be found, such as checking bank guarantees, and thus the court overturned the decision of the Ministry of Interior.<\/span><\/p>\nContact a Lawyer Specializing in Immigration Law and Legal Status Regulation of Foreign Nationals<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\nIf you are a foreign national staying in Israel and are interested in extending your stay, or if you know foreign citizens who would like to do this, we are happy to help.
