Anyone who did not receive 'new immigrant' status at the airport may change their status to new immigrant at the Ministry of the Interior.
The process involves checks and presentation of documents indicating your eligibility to receive Israeli citizenship in accordance with the Law of Return.
The process may be lengthy and you must take into account that until your status is changed, you are not entitled to assistance from the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption.
Important: Time spent in Israel prior to receiving immigrant status may affect your period of eligibility. It is important that you clarify this in advance with your immigrant emissary!
