Israel is a highly desirable immigration destination for people around the world. Those of Jewish descent have an easy option of making Aliyah according to the law of return<\/a>. But what if you made a mistake in the past and now have a criminal history? Can you make aliyah with a criminal record, or is the opportunity forever denied to you? On the one hand, the state of Israel is defined as the Jewish homeland, but on the other hand, the state of Israel doesn’t need to, and there are those who would justifiably argue that the state doesn’t want to, become a shelter state for criminals<\/span><\/p>\n

Our immigration law office specializes in aliyah and immigration to Israel<\/a> – or more specifically, in overcoming obstacles to immigration. In this article, an immigration attorney will go into detail on how a person with a criminal record may still be able to make aliyah to Israel. The acceptance or rejection of an an immigrant who has a criminal record is not binary, and many factors are accounted. Even if your request is initially denied by the Ministry of Interior, this decision may be successfully appealed and overturned.<\/span><\/p>\n
