Immigration Lawyer in Israel: Visas, Status and Appeals
The office of Gilad Malka, Advocate and Notary, is based in Jerusalem and practises in immigration law and the representation of foreign nationals before the Population and Immigration Authority and the Appeals Tribunal. This page brings together our English-language guides by subject.
Almost every matter in this field runs on short deadlines counted from the day a decision is delivered to you. If you have received a decision, keep the document and the date before anything else.
Entry visa to Israel — the B/2 tourist visa, what it does not allow, extensions, invitations, and what to do if you are refused entry at the border.
Employing a foreign expert — the employment permit for the company, the B/1 work and residence visa for the individual, and why the two stages are decided separately.
Residency status — the A/5 temporary residence permit, permanent residency, how status can lapse when your centre of life moves abroad, and regularising status.
Status for a foreign spouse or partner — married and unmarried couples, including same-sex and common-law partners, the graded process, and what evidence decides these files.
Caregiver permits — cancellation of a permit, geographic restrictions, changing employer, and the special visa for continuing to care for the same patient.
Deportation hearing — what a "shimua" hearing is, what to ask for, what to bring, and how a removal decision is challenged.
Asylum in Israel — the RSD process, the two interviews, summary rejection, long waits without a decision, and appeals.
Most matters are handled in writing and by telephone, and most can be handled while you are outside Israel. Correspondence in English is welcome. The office does not promise outcomes; what it offers is familiarity with how these decisions are actually made and with the arguments that carry weight at each stage.
