One can apply for their Israeli Passport 90 days or three full months (whichever is longer) after their date of Aliyah. Should you need to travel before receiving your Israeli passport, an Ishur Yetziyah must be obtained from your local Misrad Hapnim. No appointment is necessary for an Ishur Yetziyah and there is no fee.
When traveling abroad, make sure to have both your Israeli and foreign passports available. Leave and return to Israel using your Israeli Passport, but enter your country of origin using your foreign passport only. For example, if you are a Canadian Oleh, exit Israel using your Israeli passport, but enter Canada using only your Canadian. Regardless of the type of Israeli travel document that you have, you will always stand in the Israel line at passport control.

PLAN AHEAD:
You must book an appointment to apply for your Israeli passport at Misrad Hapnim. On average, it takes approximately 10 business days to receive a passport. However, this process can take longer during official Israeli holidays and during the summer season.
Application for a passport is by appointment only!

WHAT YOU WILL GET:

• A first Israeli passport will be issued for five years.

As a rule, any visit outside of Israel may stop your Sal Klita payments. Upon returning to Israel, you must contact your local branch of Misrad Haklita and have payments reinstated. You are entitled to receive back payments. We suggest that you check your bank statement to ensure that all Sal Klita payments are received as scheduled. Commuters and other people who need to travel outside of Israel for work purposes should contact Misrad Haklita to discuss their specific situation.

Please note that if you leave the country and do not return within 12 months of your Aliyah date, you lose the remainder of your Sal Klita payments.

If you travel abroad for a period of two months or more, your rental assistance will be temporarily discontinued. Upon your return, you must notify Misrad Hashikun in order for them to reinstate your payments.
