Israel Passport Information
Israel issues Israeli passport to its citizens who wish to travel abroad. Israel also permits its citizens to hold foreign passports but demands an Israeli passport while entering or leaving Israel. For bilingual Israelis aged above 18 years can hold the passport for 10 years. Israeli passports have navy blue cover with Israeli coat of arms emblazoned on the front cover. Below the emblem, the word “Passport” is engraved in both Hebrew and English. Further all the information is printed in both the languages. An important note to remember is that Hebrew is written from left to right and therefore Israeli passports are opened from the right end. The data page of the Israeli passport ends with a machine readable zone.
Israeli nationals and those who hold an Israeli passport are not allowed to pass through several nations some nations do not even accept a passport with an Israeli visa stamp on it. Further the Israeli government also prohibits its nationals from visiting a number of world countries with whom it does not have a smooth relationship. Countries such as Algeria, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria and United Arab Emirates do not permit those who hold an Israeli passport. But if an Israeli national is bent upon visiting these countries then a security clearance from that particular nation should be received. In case of Iran, it doesn’t allow the Israelis to set foot on their land.
Countries like Austria, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the US allows the Israeli citizens to possess two passports to avoid the restraints with respect to Israel. Further Israeli law pronounces the countries like Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Saudi Arabia as enemy countries. Hence until you receive a special permission from Ministry of Interior you cannot visit these countries. Iran has been recently added to this list.
