Jerusalem, 17 December, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority is updating its policy regarding the stay of Ukrainian citizens in Israel and announces that, given the passage of time and the experience gained, no enforcement actions will be taken against the employment of Ukrainian citizens, provided that 90 days have passed since their entry into Israel and that they hold a Ukrainian passport.
It is clarified that the employer is responsible for verifying that the employee indeed holds a Ukrainian passport and that he or she has been staying in Israel for more than 90 days.
In addition, the Minister of the Interior has decided to extend the licenses for a B/2 (tourist) visit to Israel for Ukrainian citizens who were legally in Israel on the day the war began or who entered after it began.
At the end of this period, the policy will be re-examined in accordance with the latest data.
This policy is valid until 31.03.26 or until the end of the war in Ukraine and the possibility of returning to it, whichever comes first.
