The Law of Return, 1950, allows every Jew and the spouses, children, and grandchildren of Jews to immigrate to Israel. A “Jew” is defined by law as anyone born to a Jewish mother or converted to Judaism and has no other religion. The Law of Return denies the right to emigrate from a person who was born a Jew and converted to another religion during his lifetime.
Emigration right is also denied by law when the applicant has acted against the Jewish people, may endanger public health or national security, or if he has a criminal record that may threaten public safety (an illegal record holder is a person convicted of a criminal offense or wanted/suspected of committing a crime that indicates dangerousness).
Minors from previous relationships whose spouses are entitled to the Law of Return will also be able to immigrate to Israel in the composition of the family unit and regulate their status in Israel.

A Jew’s grandson cannot immigrate to Israel if he wants to do so alone or after the age of 18. He will only receive status if he comes as part of an immigrant family; only then he will obtain a type A / 5 visa for three years (temporary residency that gives him health and social rights) And after that, a permanent residence will be granted (which can later be converted to citizenship).
One can arrange the immigration procedure abroad through the Jewish Agency or in Israel before the Interior Ministry. Original, verified, and legally translated documents proving the Judaism of the applicant himself/herself / one of his / her parents/grandparents must be submitted. Any document proving affiliation to Judaism is an acceptable document, such as marriage certificate or Ketubah, bar mitzvah certificate, confirmation of burial of parents or grandparents in a Jewish cemetery, membership in a synagogue or Jewish organization, etc. In conversion procedures, all the relevant documents must be submitted, such as a letter from the rabbi of the community to which the applicant belonged, etc.
