A foreigner residing in Israel may apply for and receive status in Israel for humanitarian reasons by the Office of the Ministry of the Interior in his area of residence. The application is handled according to the procedure “Arranging the work of the inter-ministerial advisory committee for determining and granting status in Israel for humanitarian reasons,” and its decision is fateful for the applicant.
According to the humanitarian procedure, not every application for status or status upgrade is forwarded to the decision of the inter-ministerial committee. Thus, section 4. of the procedure allows the head of the visa staff to reject an application outright if it is “based mainly on identical arguments that have already been rejected as part of an application for status by virtue of another unique procedure”, and section 6 of the procedure authorizes the desk manager to reject an application outright If it “does not bring up humanitarian tastes.”
The type of humanitarian visa that can be obtained
Assuming that the application is approved and not rejected outright and after it has been submitted to the inter-ministerial committee, a work visa and even temporary status in Israel can be obtained and after the applicant has stayed for at least 10 consecutive years in a temporary A / 5 residence permit, the status can be upgraded permanently.
Legal representation in an application for humanitarian status
Applying for and receiving status on humanitarian grounds in Israel is complicated and complex, few applications are submitted that are not rejected outright by the director of the Bureau of the Population and Immigration Authority and are discussed before the inter-ministerial committee as stated above. Applying for legal representation by immigration experts in Israel will help you examine the chances of success in obtaining the status, submitting the application and even examining other alternatives as they exist.
