About Global Aliyah

Global Aliyah is dedicated to assisting those in need through various practical services. Our work often begins with consultations and explaining the rights, privileges, and obligations before a change of status from tourist to the status of Oleh Hadash, or "new repatriate." In certain cases, we offer assistance in DNA testing to prove family relations and, consequently, the Jewish roots. Throughout the process, Global Aliyah encourages the tourist-olim applicants to be persistent in their efforts. The process can take years. In addition, and to a significant level, Global Aliyah offers financial assistance for destitute families among the tourist-olim applicants. The Process A person can apply for Israeli citizenship in the country of his or her origin, but it is also possible to apply for a status change after entering Israel as a tourist. A person, who comes to Israel based on the tourist visa and desires to stay in Israel, should apply for a change of status in the closest branch office of the Ministry of Interior. This given procedure can take a significant amount of time since, during the last few years, the status change process has been made more complicated by the Israeli authorities. Many people who have the right to make Aliyah are in Israel already. Israeli authorities must have proof of eligibility for Aliyah to grant the status of a repatriate to a person. This process, however, gets stalled until the applicant submits all the necessary original documents to the Ministry of Interior. Different archives in synagogues and family registries must be contacted; documents must be applied for and verified or authorized. Global Aliyah has the experience and necessary networks to help in this new situation. Many hundreds have so far received consultations and assistance.
