How to obtain Israeli citizenship: a step by step guide. Emigration to Israel

The issue of Israeli citizenship and a residence permit in this country, appeals to many people. In particular, the Jews and those who just wanted to move there. As practice shows, a lot of work to implement the plan. Since Israel today, according to statistics, is the leader in the number of immigrants and repatriates. Well, it is necessary to list ways using which you can become a citizen of this country.

Repatriation

It means the return of the native. Authorities are interested in repatriation. The return of ethnic Jews to their historic Homeland here strongly supported. But, nevertheless, nobody will assign a person the citizenship of Israel just because he call himself a Jew. The procedure of repatriation is quite complicated.

It Should be noted that the nationality “assign” itself can only be one person whose mother is Jewish. But the right to Israeli citizenship is transmitted, so to speak, in the male line, too. And by marriage. And in General, a residence permit can get a lot of people. Children, grandchildren, widowers, widows, spouses of Jews. Also people who were adopted. Widowers and widows grandchildren of Jews also have the right to contact the Embassy of Israel on this issue. But it is worth noting that all this applies to repatriation. That is, to return Home. And so, in fact, Israel could move and Russian. But it – later.

Documents

Emigration to Israel on the repatriation program is possible upon presentation of the weighty document folder. They are required to confirm a person's nationality. As a rule, make an official paper indicating the nationality of the ancestor, which he wants to repatriate.

Your document is a Soviet passport or military ID of the old model – they were Earl «nationality». His own birth certificate, too, if it says “Jew”. Also suitable extract from the house register and any other old documents.

Still need a certificate of marriage between parents and grandparents (desirable). If the person who wants to return Home, appealing Jewish name of a relative, already deceased, he may present his death certificate. In General, the more official documents confirming nationality of blood relatives – the higher the probability to leave for Israel for permanent residence.

Religious question

All people know well that in this state adopted Judaism. And the religious question is of great importance, if we talk about repatriation. Every person wishing to return Home, passing through the Israeli Embassy. Where he will interview, during which definitely will be asked questions relating to religion. Some people brought up in the tradition, which is far from beliefs, often confused. And they can say that are related to Christianity. So, this is – a cross on a possible move to relocate. Since the Law of return does not allow the repatriation of Jews who changed religion. Failure to challenge virtually impossible. Because of the need to declare itself as about the West.

Other features

However, potential citizen of Israel should remember not only about Judaism. Should return to the subject of Jewry. In the Consulate it is well known that in the era of persecution of people of this nationality a hid. And for this reason the previously mentioned documents are confirmed to get quite difficult. But there are other ways to prove their nationality. And it's photos. For example, the Jewish cemetery headstone of a relative.

Many people who want to be repatriated, appealin “drying”. It is an organization that helps Jews return to Homeland. The staff of “dry” better than anyone else advise of a person on all matters relating to moving to Israel, documents, proof of nationality, interviews, etc. Help in choosing the city, work – it's also part of their responsibility. Sometimes the representatives of “dry”, in certain cases, even impossible to organize a free flight to Israel.

Shared documents

The Above listed paper, which should provide people hoping for repatriation. But it also attached and the main list of documents. They present all the people, namereplace to obtain Israeli citizenship.

So, the citizen will need not only your birth certificate, but also the same document belonging to the person, the audience to leave with him. It's a must. Still need a passport, military ID, certificate of registration of marriage/divorce/death of spouse (if something of the above is available). Naturally, you will need to provide “Zahrani”. And photos (3x4 format). They will be needed when filling out the questionnaire.

Yet we must not forget copies of labor books (although better than the original), passport and birth certificates. Of course, a lot of papers, but it is better to collect them all. Then emigration to Israel would seem more likely.

Emigration

If the person was given “welcome”, and he realized that to obtain Israeli citizenship for him now a reality, then it is time to prepare for the adaptation period.

On arrival At the airport named after Ben Gurion, he was greeted, escorted to a special room where give lift money, passport, map records to the clinic and SIM for the phone. During the first three months, people will not be able to vote. And yet he will not “the international” he will give then a year later, his stay in Israel.

If necessary, the person will be discharged to the local interior Ministry permission to enter Russia. But in Israel, a person will have the right to work, receive medical care and pensions.

In General, can be anywhere and never leave. Because for 6 months the person will be issued a basket of absorbine. It's a certain amount of money which can be paid to the study of Hebrew, partly to compensate for the rent/buy housing and to live simply. Also in the program of absorbtsii includes the provision of customs privileges, discounts on the purchase of homes and cars and help with applying for a job.

Environment for people who are not Jews

The passport of the citizen of Israel could receive, in principle, any person. But only for people who are not of Jewish nationality, a completely different set of conditions. They can get citizenship, if you live in Israel for three years, will know Hebrew and have material income. And in order to stay in the country for the specified period, will require a visa.

The First step is to talk about the form V/1. It is issued to people going to Israel to work. The design of this document the employer is engaged in, interested in foreign specialist. When the results approve, the person arrives in Israel. And then he has 30 days (as the In/1) to obtain a working visa. It provides the Consulate with a receipt of payment for the services ($47), a certificate of no criminal record and the passage of medical examination (a person should not be sick with AIDS, tuberculosis, and hepatitis), the statement on the conduct of fingerprinting (taking it in place) and two more photos.

After submission of the application – interview with the Consul. If no problems occur, then the work visa issue during the day.

What next?

Treasured an Israeli passport can be obtained after living in Thailand for 3 years and having a residence permit. Which, in turn, is given to people with financial prosperity. The authorities must know that accept into its ranks a complete person, able to provide for themselves and be useful to society. But it is self-evident, because people in any case will be in Israel for work.

If he is not a Jew, then he will need to provide three arguments to the representatives of the interior Ministry, who will be able to convince them in making the right decision. Knowledge of Hebrew, the availability of real estate – it is all advantage. Have relatives in Israel? No need to mention it! And even better just to accept Judaism. That's something that, while it certainly will play an important role.

By the Way, you should know that after a long work visa the person has yet to undergo language training, as well as to reaffirm the validity of his diploma, to obtain a license.

Marriage

Finally – a few words about another widespread method of obtaining Israeli citizenship Russian man. Of course, it will be about gaining a passport through marriage.

I must say that in 1999 the law was amended some amendments, according to which people who are married to a citizen of Israel, could not immediately obtain a national passport. He, like all of must go through naturalization.

First, he prepares a work visa. And the temporary residence permit. Then he must apply to the interior Ministry, where people will ask for recognition of his Israeli. Of course, each of the periods takes some time. About 3-4 years usually. Also need to be prepared for the fact that the interior Ministry will be in great detail to ask spouses about their life together (Yes, come to the bodies will need both). In Israel, a strict relation to sham marriages. So the questions about the date of birth of the first gifts, acquaintance and favorite shades to avoid will not work. A couple must be mentally prepared for the fact that they can suddenly come the representatives of the interior Ministry to check whether they live together. However, it does not matter if the marriage is sincere. Otherwise, if found to be proof to the contrary, the Israelis face a fine, and his “beloved one” - deportation.
