Planning your stay

Visa

Students are required to obtain a student visa if they are plan to stay in Israel for several months.

We will assist students in obtaining a visa from the Ministry of Interior.

We recommend that students obtain their visa in Israel.

Students who attend for a short period are not required, by She'arim, to obtain a visa. A visa is valid for one year.

Passports must be valid for at least one year from the time that you arrive in Israel.

In order to ensure a smooth and quick process of getting a student visa we request that you bring the following:

1. Your original birth certificate or a notarized copy
2. An original letter from your Rabbi stating he knows you are Jewish
3. If you are married, your original marriage license or a notarized copy.
4. If you are a convert please bring your original conversion papers.
