Visa Status
Students who are interested in studying in this wonderful country must know that a student visa or a A2 visa is needed. For a student to receive this A2 visa, they need to contact an Israeli consulate and at least 4 months before their intended arrival in Israel.
Health Insurance for International Students
Before any international student arrives to Israel, they must have a health insurance plan already in place that is accepted by Israel. This is to ensure that any student that may fall ill has the appropriate care needed.
