New repatriates now have the opportunity to obtain only biometric Teudat Maavar (Lesse-passe) which is issued 3 (three) months after repatriation. Alternatively, with the help of goVisit assistants they can apply through the “Refusal to refuse” procedure in the first days of their stay in Israel.
* В среднем, документы гражданина Израиля изготавливаются в течение 1-1.5 месяцев с момента оформления.
Teudat Maavar is issued for 5 years and it permits visa free visiting more than 65 countries, including Schengen zone. Thus, every repatriate has the opportunity to travel for business or vacation without any restrictions.
Biometric passport and Teudat Maavar can be issued only on the territory of Israel at the office of Population and Immigration Authority.
It’s not possible to get it at the Embassy as only non-biometric passports are issued there which may cause a problem when traveling to the EU countries.Новые визовые правила ЕС в вопросах и ответах - EEAS.
