Also, if the\u00a0request did not contain all the required documents or if the foreign parent is staying in Israel illegally, the request will be rejected prior to its consideration. In this case the foreign parent will be required to leave Israel within 14 days.<\/p>\n
In the case of any other reasons for rejection of a request, the issue will be transferred to the Population and Immigration Authority office in Jerusalem for a final decision. If a request has not been approved by the Authority staff, then the elderly parent will be invited to come to the local office in order to receive a letter explaining the reason for refusal. If the foreign guest is in the country, he\/she will be required to leave Israel within 30 days.<\/p>\n
Health insurance as a condition for approving the application<\/h4>\n
In accordance with the latest update of the procedure, from August 31, 2022, if the application is approved, obtaining a visa for an elderly and single parent is conditional upon the purchase of a valid health insurance policy for the entire duration of the visa. The policy must be presented to the officials handling the case as a condition for actually receiving the visa. Unfortunately, many are not aware of this update, which is important to take care of ahead of time in order not to delay receiving the visa.<\/p>\n
Approval procedure<\/em> for an application:<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\nIf after inspections of the Israeli elderly parent visa request, there are no reasons for denial of status in Israel, then the foreign parent will be invited to continue the process for issuing an\u00a0Israeli visa.<\/p>\n
After approval of the status, the invited parent will receive legal status as a lonely or elderly parent in Israel from the Ministry of Interior. At first it will be a temporary visa (B\/1 visa to Israel), which in the future may be exchanged for a temporary residency (A\/5 status in Israel) and after that Israeli permanent residency. This depends on the age and duration of time that the parent stays in the country. All this is on the condition that the center of life of the foreign\u00a0parent and Israeli son or daughter remains in Israel.<\/p>\n
