How to Get an Employment in Israel?

– Two of your passport size pictures

– Medical procedure certifications if any

– Proof of no criminal records

How to migrate to Israel?

There are two primary parts of legislation to govern the needs of Israeli Citizenship. One is the Citizenship Law of 1952, and another is the Law of Return as of 1950. Jews in any part of the world have the right to move to Israel without any restrictions and become Israeli!

Non-Jewish foreigners might naturalize after three years as permanent residents of Israel. It can also be possible if a Non-Jewish demonstrate knowledge of Hebrew or renounce past citizenship. So non-Jewish people need to qualify for any of the available limited categories of visas to obtain the citizenship of Israel.

 

Bottom Line

Israel is a region having Mediterranean beaches, deserts, and snow-capped mountains. There is not much rain, but mostly there are two seasons a windy, cool winter and sweltering, dry, long summer. It is a modern liberal democratic nation but lacks regulations and laws that govern how foreigners can settle in Israel for the long term.

In case, you are a non-Jewish, you can only reside in Israel as a tourist foreigner. It could be for studies, work, business, a clergy member of a religious firm, or a volunteer.

If you want to get permanent residence in Israel, you need to convert to Judaism or marry someone already Jewish. Otherwise, there is no permanent legal status for the immigration of foreigners. It is under the management of Knesset (parliament of Israel, the legislative body of the country).
