DENIAL OF ENTRY TO ISRAEL
The A.I firm specializes in a wide range of areas related to status regulation in Israel: obtaining entry visas to Israel by tourists, public figures, foreign experts, family members or acquaintances of Israeli citizens who wish to enter Israel for various purposes.
Border control at the Ben Gurion Airport and/or the Israeli ambassador have broad authorities to refuse entry to Israel.
Foreign nationals, whose requests for an entry visa were rejected by the Israeli embassy while they were still in their country of origin or foreigners, who arrived at the Ben Gurion Airport and the border control officer denied their entry to Israel, remain helpless and are forced to engage in long struggle with the authorities.
DENIAL OF ENTRY TO ISRAEL
The State of Israel is authorized to prevent entry of foreign nationals who wish to come to Israel for a visit or a tour. Denial to entry can be received when the application is made in the country of origin or when a foreign citizen arrives in Israel and is detained at the Ben Gurion Airport by employees of the Population and Immigration Authority, followed by their subsequent placement in the administrative Detention Facility until the planned date of departure and deportation from Israel.
In this regard, it should be emphasized that a foreign resident does not have an automatic right to enter Israel and the State can prevent his entry.
Officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs may prohibit entry of a foreigner to Israel for various reasons:
Due to the fact that a foreign citizen visited Israel in the past, but did not leave its territory in time, or if a foreign citizen visited countries hostile to Israel, which raises concerns with respect to the security of the State or the public of Israel; because of its criminal history; because of obstructing the security system; because of the incidents of violence or because of the fears regarding the possibility of settlement or suspicions that the entry is for the purpose of working in Israel, etc.
The list is open and is not exhaustive and the border control officer has very wide-ranging powers to deny entry to Israel.
DENIAL OF ENTRY TO ISRAEL
The decision to deny entry to Israel can be appealed in court, and it is very important to contact a lawyer who will deal with the legal issues in order to prevent deportation from Israel.
Entry denied at the Ben Gurion Airport or/and at the Israeli embassy
A lawyer will meet the detainee, who is held at the Detention Facility, will contact the border control officer to obtain information regarding grounds for denial to entry and will stop and/or delay the applicant’s deportation until the final decision on the appeal is reached.
The situation changes when the decision to deny entry to Israel is made and issued at the Israeli embassy. Our firm helps to prepare the appropriate invitation to Israel and, if necessary, to consider the possibility of appeal to the courts in the future.
All of the above also applies to foreign nationals who come from countries that are granted the visa-free entry permissions to Israel or to those individuals who received denial to entry before arriving in Israel.
