After obtaining citizenship

To obtain citizenship, you need to prove that you had Jewish ancestors in your family up to the third generation. At this stage, the most problems arise.

There are many reasons why the collection of documents can take many years. For example, in 20th century, relatives changed their first or last name. Or there is no documentary evidence of the ancestor’s Jewishness. Or the connection with relatives was lost. Perhaps the archives respond to your requests with a refusal. But the archivists of WRAI will successfully find a way out of any situation and prove your Jewish roots and help build a family tree.

In addition, when preparing a full package of evidence, it is very important to bring not only documents from the open list to the interview, but also other certificates, extracts and certificates — individual in each case.

The absence of a document means at least another 3-18 months of waiting for interview. The value of WRAI services is saving your time.

Until 2023, the applicant had to download a questionnaire on the website, fill it out and send it along with scanned documents (one file) by e-mail for verification. At the same time, each family member filled out their part of the paper questionnaire.

The questionnaire is filled in English. At the first stage, you need to indicate the number ID and passport and a contact e-mail (it would be better if the mail is registered in Gmail). A verification code will be sent to the email address, which must be entered at the second stage of filling out the questionnaire.

From this point on, you can interrupt the filling process and return to it again – all data will be saved. You must attach copies of the following documents to the application:

  • passport;
  • certificate of marital status;
  • documents confirming the right to repatriation.

The following sections must be completed in detail:

  • your personal data;
  • information about education;
  • information about military and labor activity;
  • next of kin information, and so on.

The main purpose of the interview is to ensure the transparency and sincerity of the motives of the repatriate and their compliance with the Law of Return.

Preparing for a conversation is more difficult than it might seem, because the questions of the interviewer can relate to so many areas of life. Even, at first glance, irrelevant questions can become a decisive factor in the final decision.

Moreover, the intention that the candidate voices in response to questions should also be traced in the documents that he provides.

General principles of preparation:

  • Answers should be truthful or as plausible as possible, they should not contradict each other. If you begin to play up or lie, you will be denied repatriation. It is also worth remembering that all documents and all information from the questionnaire will be carefully checked. And if the forgery of documents or the submission of incorrect information is revealed, then the conclusion about you at the Israeli embassy will be the most negative.
  • Be calm and confident. Answer questions clearly, show that you know the history of your family well, and are ready to confirm this with relevant documents.

You have 6 months from the date of your visa’s start to come to Israel. Regardless of whether you intend to live in the country or not, to get the necessary documents.

At the airport you will receive:
1. Teudat-Ole (temporary repatriate ID-card, issued one for the whole family)
2. Refferal for attachment to the health insurance fund
3. Temporary Teudat Zeut (every repatriate from the age of 16)
4. Cash payments from the absorption basket

Upon arrival in Israel, you receive an internal identity card and a repatriate card. Next you need:

  • visit the Israeli Interior Ministry to apply for a biometric passport to save your time;
  • open a bank account;
  • stick to the health insurance fund;
  • visit the ministry of absorption;
  • visits to the Ministry of Transport to get an Israeli license, provided if you have more than 5 years of driving experience.

After repatriation and going through all the stages, it is worth deciding whether you want to stay in Israel, or move to another country, Israeli citizenship, in any case, remains with you. but there are many legal subtleties that need to be settled in advance in case of departure:

  • maintain the activity of the bank account;
  • timely notify the appropriate authorities about your place of residence;
  • extend or suspend enrollment in the health insurance fund;
  • apply for suspension of payments from the absorption basket.

    Ways to obtain Israeli citizenship

    Israel is a modern developed country. People from different parts of the earth seek permanent residence in Israel. Israel ranks first in the number of migrants and returnees.

    Obtaining Israeli citizenship is carried out on the basis of the «Law of Return». On the basis of the act, a person with Jewish roots can become a citizen of the country — up to the third generation. These are children, grandchildren, spouses of Jews. Even if a Jewish relative is not alive, or he is/ lives in another country and does not plan to return, there are no obstacles in obtaining a passport.

    To obtain guaranteed Israeli citizenship, you must apply to the relevant authority. If you are in Israel, then you need to come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and if you are applying in your country of origin, to the Israeli embassy.

    1. Repatriation

    To obtain Israeli citizenship without living in Israel, you need to collect the necessary papers in their original form and present them to the Israeli Missions Around The World:

    • Color photo, 3*4 cm for each family member, including infants.
    • A document on the birth and marriage of the applicant, relatives: father, mother, grandmother.
    • Color photo, 3*4 cm for each family member, including infants.
    • Passports.
    • Diploma and certificate.
    • A work record.
    • A certificate that there is no criminal record (the document must be translated into Hebrew and English, notarized).
    • Data on close relatives living in Israel.
    • Documents proving family connection with a Jewish ancestor up to the third generation.

    You have to go to the embassy only after you have been invited and your repatriate visa application form has been approved. After the papers are collected, you and your family need to personally appear at the consulate for an interview and document verification. If the decision is positive, you will receive a visa for repatriation for a period of 6 months. As soon as the visa is in hand, you can purchase air tickets.

    Upon arrival at the airport, you will receive:
    • Certificate of the repatriate.
    • Temporary identity card for moving around the country.
    • Financial assistance.
    • Referral to the health insurance fund (the first year of residence in the country, medicine is free).
    • Paid SIM card.
    • Free taxi to your place of residence.
    After obtaining Israeli citizenship, you are issued a permanent internal passport and a foreign darkon for traveling abroad.
    2. Naturalization

    A person who is not a Jew can obtain Israeli citizenship by naturalization. Main grounds:

    • The presence of a valid residence permit.
    • A document on the birth and marriage of the applicant, relatives: father, mother, grandmother.
    • Lack of citizenship of another state
    If you speak Hebrew, you have your own property and you are financially independent — there are much more chances to get an official status.
    3. Marriage with an Israeli citizen

    Citizens of other countries can acquire Israeli citizenship by marrying an Israeli citizen. What is required for this:

    It is necessary to undergo a special procedure.
    You need to submit a special application and start the procedure. The main requirements are:

    • To live with your spouse in Israel for more than 5 years
    • Integrate into Israeli society (work, hobby groups, language, etc.)

    Renew your residency visa annually + undergo checks on the authenticity of the relationship. For evidence may require: booking of hotel rooms, airline tickets, accommodation, bills, photos, receipts from restaurants, holidays. Sometimes the procedure takes longer than 5 years. Once you are approved, you can apply for Israeli citizenship.

    4. Labor and business immigration
    Foreigners and businessmen officially employed in the country have the right to a guaranteed residence permit.
    Before you get Israeli citizenship, think carefully — study all the pros and cons. If there is no doubt left start collecting documents.
