Impact High
Summary
Foreign nationals currently in Israel with visas due to expire in the coming month will have their status automatically extended until 9 November 2023.
Details
PIBA (the Population, Immigration, and Border Authority) in Israel has today (9 October 2023) announced that it will extend the period of validity of all valid visas held by foreign nationals currently in Israel, where the visa is due to expire in the coming month.
The visas will be automatically extended until 9 November 2023. Following this period, provided there are no further exceptional notices from PIBA, normal visa extension rules will apply.
Impact assessments
The situation in Israel and Palestine remains incredibly volatile. Vialto Partners is monitoring the situation closely in the region. It is advisable for companies with global workforces in impacted regions to ensure they are aware of their population (including current location, all dependants in location with the employee, nationality and any other visas held) and ensure lines of communication with the employees are open.
Foreign nationals travelling to (and those already in) the region are advised to register their presence with their respective Embassies in order to receive the latest advice from their country and to follow their Embassy’s travel advice.
Vialto Partners’ crisis management team are monitoring this closely and will provide further updates as they are made available.
