Marriage to an Israeli – Spouse / Partner Visa to Israel

Non-Israeli citizens who marry or live together (Israeli common law marriage) with their local Israeli (citizen or permanent resident) partner are eligible, according to the Law of Citizenship, to acquire legal status in Israel according to the regulations and procedures of the Ministry of Interior. This process takes around five years, during which the couple must prove that they are living together and the “sincerity” of their relationship. First the non-Israeli spouse will receive a work visa, then a temporary resident status, and finally (if the process goes smoothly) permanent residency or Israeli citizenship.

Termination of the Relationship between an Israeli and Foreign Spouse / Partner

Unfortunately, there are situations in which the relationship between the Israeli citizen and the foreign partner or spouse comes to an end before the non-Israeli has received Israeli permanent residency or Israeli citizenship. In this case, the termination of the relationship may mean leaving Israel for the non-Israeli party. However, there are situations in which an Israeli immigration lawyer may be able to assist, according to the Ministry of Interior regulations, in prolonging the stay in Israel or obtaining a visa to Israel, for example, in cases where the children are Israeli and in the custody of the non-Israeli.
