Israel is a country that is ideal for relaxation. Here you can learn a lot and see the many holy places that have survived to our times in their original form. The bulk of the architectural monuments associated with biblical times. But not only this can attract such an amazing country.
Here you can find wonderful resorts, get a wonderful wellness stay, arrange shopping and much more. This is the only country in the world where you can visit the holy places of three major religions at once. And, of course, in order to get here, you need to draw up a package of documents. To do this, contact the Israeli Embassy in Kiev.
Cooperation between the representative offices of Israel and Ukraine
In 2011, a decisive event occurred in the process of establishing friendly relations between the countries - the abolition of visas for Ukrainians upon entry into Israeli territory. This made it possible for more people to visit such a wonderful country. But it is worth noting that not all citizens are free to enter Israel.
A list of people who are not allowed to freely visit the country will be available at the Israeli Embassy in Kiev. They will immediately tell you what documents should be collected and submitted in order to obtain permission to enter the territory of Israel. Also, consulate staff will conduct orientation lectures at which you can learn about the traditions, rules and customs of the country.
But this can not guarantee you entry into the country. The main decision in this regard is made by the Israeli border service. That is, upon arrival, at the airport, a tourist may be prohibited for some reason from passing on. In this case, there is nothing left but to spend time waiting for your plane to return back.
The list of categories of people who need to apply for a visa to enter Israel
At the first stage, when applying to the consulate, you need to justify the reason why you need to get permission to enter the country. Especially it is worth taking this seriously for those who have already been refused entry once.
For the past 10 years they are not entitled to enter the territory of the country previously deported. Entry is also restricted for those who at least once violated the visa-free regime. The ban applies to those citizens who officially worked in Israel and left the country on time. Under Jewish law, such a citizen will be able to re-enter the territory of Israel after one year.
Also, a visa-free regime does not apply to those who enter the country for a missionary purpose, to study or work. To do this, they need to contact the Israeli Embassy in Kiev for a visa B1 (for work), A2 (for study) and others.
All of the above is relevant only to those citizens who have a passport with Ukrainian citizenship. All others must contact the consulate for a visa.
For those children whose data are entered in the passport of one of the parents, you do not need to open a visa.
As for the foreigners who live in Ukraine, they have the right to contact the Israeli embassy in Kiev, but they will need to collect an additional package of documents.
