Israel to Extend Visas for Ukrainian Refugees, and Allow Them to Work
|
|
Since
the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, more than 15,000
asylum seekers from Ukraine have entered Israel, joining thousands who were already
in the country when the invasion took place.

|
|
The Israeli
Interior Ministry announced this week that it will automatically extend the
tourist visas of Ukrainian citizens currently in Israel through June 30 and
allow them to work.
The
decision does not apply to Ukrainian nationals who arrived in Israel before the
Russian invasion.
