Israel: Upcoming Government Closures May Cause Delays

Israeli government offices will be closed due to Jewish holidays on the following dates: September 25-28 (inclusive) for Rosh Hashanah, October 4-5 for Yom Kippur, and October 9-16 (inclusive) for Sukkot. A national election to be held on November 1, will also close government offices, including immigration services. During these closures, no work permits or visa applications will be processed. Consular posts will also suspend or limit their processing. Consequently, visa applications may experience processing delays or delayed issuing following these closures.
