For many years, the state has maintained a leading position in the number of emigrants and repatriates. But the registration of Israeli citizenship entails many difficulties: strict requirements for applicants for citizenship, painstaking work with documents, passing an interview. The company WRAI will help simplify this responsible procedure and go through all its stages quickly and without difficulty.
The following persons have the right to obtain the status of an Israeli citizen:
If your Jewish nationality is documented
If you are a descendant of a person with Jewish nationality up to 3 tribes

If your deceased spouse is Jewish and you have not remarried

But the ar chivists of WRAI will successfully find a way out of any situation and prove your Jewish roots and help build a family tree.
