Hi! I want to ask you a question, because I see that you already have a good understanding of the topic of Israeli citizenship. I have the following situation: I am seriously thinking about obtaining Israeli citizenship, but I do not plan to move there permanently. I would like to know your experience or knowledge - how realistic is it to arrange everything without a residence permit? What steps are mandatory, and what can be done remotely? Are there any pitfalls in the process, for example, with documents or checks? I would be grateful if you share your opinion and experience.

I can share my experience, as I recently went through a similar situation. I also had no plans to move to Israel for permanent residence, but I wanted to obtain citizenship for a number of personal and practical reasons. So, how can I move to Israel? I will say honestly - the process is quite real and not as complicated as it seems at first glance. Many stages can be done remotely: collecting and submitting documents, preliminary consultations, preparing certificates. Of course, certain steps require personal presence, for example, passing an interview at the consulate or confirming identity, but this takes a minimum of time. The most important point for me was the correct execution of papers - here it is better to immediately clarify the requirements so as not to waste weeks on revisions. Pitfalls can be associated with document verification or proof of the right to citizenship, so this should be approached seriously. Otherwise, the process is clear, and with proper preparation, everything goes without unnecessary complications.

Hi! I recently went through the process of obtaining Israeli citizenship and would be happy to share my experience. I will say right away that although I did not plan to move to Israel for permanent residence, obtaining citizenship turned out to be real, but with certain nuances. The main thing you should pay attention to is your documents confirming your Jewish origin or right under the Law of Return. Almost all the preparation and collection of papers can be done remotely: notarizations, apostilles, translations, sending packages of documents. You will only have to be present in person at key stages, for example, to submit signatures or an interview, and this can be planned in a minimum number of visits. It is important to check the accuracy of all certificates in advance, otherwise the process will drag on. I can say for sure: if you approach it in an organized manner, with a clear understanding of the list of documents and requirements, obtaining citizenship without permanent relocation is real and quite comfortable. The process itself gave me confidence and a feeling that everything is possible even remotely!
