Here you can find information on student visas and employment of international students in Israel.
A valid student visa is a multiple entry/single entry visa allowing you to study in the country. It is valid for one year, during which you can leave and re-enter Israel a number of times (on multiple entry visa only).
All students must receive their Student Visa before coming to Israel.
Most likely you will need to submit:
1. Your passport, valid for at least two more years.
2. Your letter of acceptance to the University of Haifa.
3. A letter confirming your studies at the University of Haifa from our admissions department.
4. Two copies of the visa application form with an attached photo.
5. Proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses.
However, please note that Israeli visa processes and requirements vary from country to country, so please verify this with the Israeli Embassy closest to you.
Student visas are renewable after one year, both in Israel and abroad and according to Israel’s Ministry of Internal Affair’s regulations.
Please consult with the Israeli consulate on this matter and complete necessary steps before you arrive.

Granting a visa depends solely on the decision of your embassy. While we can provide you with relevant documents, the university has no influence on this decision whatsoever.
According to Israeli law, international students holding a student visa are not allowed to work in Israel during their studies. However, the law allows you to continue to work remotely for a workplace in your home country.
