Na’ale and Aliyah
The Elite Academy (Na’ale) is a joint endeavor of the State of Israel and The Jewish Agency for Israel, offering students three years of highly subsidized high school studies in Israel (grades 10-12), including room and board. Graduates of the Na’ale program are offered a specialized incentive package from Misrad Haklita upon their Aliyah.
Making Aliyah with Pets
For most animal lovers, a household pet is another member of the family. Pets are required to go through a separate approval process before they will be allowed entry into Israel. Israel’s Misrad Hachaklaut (Ministry of Agriculture), Reshut Hateva V’haganim (Nature Reserves Authority) and EL AL Israel Airlines each have specific regulations that determine which pets are eligible to travel on flights and be approved for entry into Israel. Coordinating your pet’s Aliyah requires advanced planning.
Temporary Resident (A-1 Visa)
The visa is valid for three years, and you can apply to extend it for another two years. You cannot exceed a period of five years in total. At the end of this time period, you can either apply for Aliyah or apply for an A-5 visa, which can be extended every two years. The A-5 visa allows you to maintain a Teudat Zehut, work in Israel and receive health coverage through Bituach Leumi(National Insurance Institute).
