Israel is a unique country that combines history, natural beauty and high technology. Since it was founded in 1948, Israel has given Jews and their descendants around the world the chance to find a homeland through the repatriation program.

Legal basis

The repatriation program is governed by the Law of Return, passed in 1950. This is the main piece of legislation that sets out the conditions for obtaining citizenship by repatriation.

Who can apply for citizenship

  • Jews by nationality - regardless of the country they live in.
  • Children and grandchildren of Jews.
  • Spouses of Jews.
  • People who have converted to Judaism.

Each category receives a passport once certain conditions are met. During a free consultation we will check your documents and tell you straight whether the program suits you.
