Marriage to an Israeli resident or citizen
Any foreign national who’s not Israeli but gets married to a resident or citizen of Israel or enters into cohabitation (living together) with an Israeli partner becomes eligible to receive legal status in Israel. If the foreign partner resides in Israel, then the request for immigration should be filed in the country. The application must be submitted to the regional bureau of the Population Authority at the Ministry of Interior that’s nearest to the couple’s residence.
If both partners live abroad, then the foreign partner will have to file an immigration request before their arrival to the country at the nearest Israeli Consulate. If the Israeli partner is in Israel, and the foreign partner is abroad, the Israeli partner must obtain prior permission for their foreign partner to enter Israel. This is accomplished by issuing an invitation through the Israeli Ministry of Interior.
First, the non-Israeli spouse is issued a work visa; next, they receive a temporary resident status for several years; and finally a permanent residency status or Israeli citizenship, according to the gradual process for obtaining Israeli citizenship. The procedure will require you to seek assistance from a law firm in Israel that is familiar with the nitty-gritty details of the immigration process.

How to choose the best law firm in Israel for your legal problem?
If you need assistance with a legal matter, follow the tips below to choose the best law firm in Israel for your specific issue:
Area of expertise
Israeli lawyers have the privilege to practice in any field they wish to. But most law firms in Israel focus on specific areas and develop special expertise in that field. Some examples of these legal fields are; labor law, criminal law, business law, Israeli immigration law, inheritance law, tax law, real estate law, etc.
Location – where is the law firm located?
Israel may not be a huge country, but if your case is being handled in Tel Aviv, for instance, then it would prove more convenient for you to approach a law firm located in the center of Israel.
Experience – does the lawyer have experience in this specific area of practice?
Before you hire a law firm in Israel, you should know in advance whether the lawyers working in the firm have experience in the area where you need assistance. You can do this by reading the bio of lawyers from the website of the law firm in Israel, checking online, or asking around.
Confidentiality
Just like lawyers in other countries, law firms in Israel are legally bound to maintain full confidentiality. You don’t have to sign a separate document specifying legal confidentiality. But, if your case is sensitive, you should express this to the lawyer in advance.
Legal Fees – how much will you need to pay the lawyer?
It is crucial to agree upon the legal fees with the law firm in Israel in advance. You should also outline the payment structure of legal fees, and the various obligations of the lawyer you are working with. Many lawyers and law firms in Israel do not sign a fees agreement – something that may potentially lead to misunderstandings.
Power of Attorney
For a lawyer or a law firm in Israel to be able to legally represent you, they need a power of attorney document signed by you. The document is usually prepared by the lawyer, and you have to sign it in their presence. If you are outside Israel, you have to authenticate the power of attorney by getting the sign of an Apostille or with the Israeli Consulate. Please find more information on the power of attorney in Israel in this article on our website.
