Visa and Status Information

Students are responsible for clarifying and establishing their status in Israel and can turn to the Raphael Recanati International School staff for advice and assistance. Israeli visa requirements vary based on your country of citizenship.

Before commencing studies students are responsible for clarifying and establishing their status in Israel, and can turn to the Raphael Recanati International School staff for advice and assistance. Before commencing studies, all students must clarify their status and eligibility for a student visa (A-2), or Israeli citizenship, with the Israeli embassy or consulate in their home country . A student visa should be obtained in advance, in the student’s home country.

 

International students who are children of an Israeli parent are normally required to arrive to Israel on an Israeli passport instead of visa, and must settle all matters, such as deferment of military service, with the nearest Israeli embassy or consulate. For further information please contact Shelly Levy levys@runi.ac.il.

 

For students considering immigration to Israel : The Jewish Agency provides advice and assistance. For students from North America/UK  contact  Nefesh B' Nefesh

 

 

*Please contact the nearest Israeli Embassy/Consulate in your home country for more information.


The RRIS staff is here to help with the procedure and can provide students with certification of your status as a student.
