Got my Israeli citizenship about 5 years ago. The process was incredibly easy. Once I moved there on a tourist visa I put in all my paperwork and about 2 months later I had a new passport. They even pay new immigrants for the first 6 months to help you get on your feet. First 10 years in the country is a tax holiday as well. If your over 23/24, don't worry about having to join the army. I had to beg to get in at 24 because I was too old.
@@11ops11 My great-uncle joined the British Army to fight against the Nazis in North Africa during WWII for 2 yrs. His Brooklyn Mother told him it was time to come home! Too bad I don't have Israeli relatives.
I thought about making Ailyah in the 1990s and early 2000s. I was discouraged where I was told Jews immigrate to Israel when they are young (like you) ore retirement (more expensive than US). I'm single so it's not as easy. I also heard on the news via internet last year that US Congress was changing something about US citizens ability to access the "law of return." Do you know anything about that? Also, why does Andrew say once you are an Israeli citizen you cannot go back to the US? Israelis travel back and forth. Can you have dual citizenship? I wish I did it years ago. I think I might have to immigrate to Israel now that the US is under the spell of hard core Socialism and soon Communism.
@@Karen-dk1ec Hi Karen, your great-uncle sounds like a badass! I haven't heard about any changes to the law of return. Regardless what the US says, the Israeli government will help you make aliyah if you're a jew no matter what. And once you're an Israeli citizen you can most definitely still go back to US. I'm in the States right now as a dual citizen. I love Israel but it too is a hardcore socialist country with many problems (and it's expensive!). I want the government out of my life and that's why I'm considering a move to a less oppressive country in either Central America or Asia.
Good video. Men who move to Israel after 28 don’t get called to the army and women after 18 or 19 can get out of it. It isn’t a passport you can clam from abroad. You will have to live there a year or so to finish the process. Also, there is a ten year tax holiday on worldwide income for new citizens that is almost the same as Portugal if you are a tax resident in Israel.
Andrew, much of what you said, is soon to be null & void. With Saudi, UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Oman, and others; normalizing relations with Israel, including opening embassies, we are in a new era.
I have USA and Israeli passports and it's a nice combination because with the Israeli passport I was able to enter Russia, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Sinai (Egypt) for free, no visa.
My Girlfriend is Jewish. Even now with Erdogan supporting palestinian terrorists. She feels quite safe in Turkey as an Israeli, better than in France actually.
Long time lurker. My grad school "economics" professor used to talk about value adding and the time value of money, but then he said sometimes you have to remember the human considerations involved. Yes, you can work while you pay someone else to mow the lawn and make a profit on the difference, but maybe you like mowing the lawn yourself. Sometimes you have an emotional connection to Iran, or Israel so you want a passport there. I bet most people miss that aspect. Thank you for letting me comment in some of these sub-threads. And Good Shabbos to all.
Sephardic Jews are entitled to Portuguese citizenship, as well as descendants of people who were forcedly converted during the Inquisition. I am a Portuguese citizen myself through that, and I provide services for Sephardim and genealogical research for descendants. Some countries like Brazil were the main destination of those fleeing the Inquisition to the New World.
Hallo Leandro, add Spanish and even French citizenship to your Portuguese, or at least try. Spain gives citizenship to Sephardic Jews too. France used to do this too those Sephardic Jews, who lived in those North African countries, which were French departments or territories. Good luck! Ashkenasic Jews don't have the right to a citizenship of any Central European country by virtue of Ashkenasic, what a pity!
@@maialebedinskaia5125 I signed my Spanish papers in 2019, and I am waiting to get it anytime soon. However, the law is closed for new applicants there. In the case of France it's a little bit more complicated for me. My family never went to the African countries and came straight to Brazil
@@astrobleme unfortunately, no. Polish Jews are Ashkenazi. But descendants of those who migrated to other countries such as the USA or Brazil (we have a big community here) are entitled to Polish citizenship. I can't guarantee, however, that Poland will stay in the EU very much longer. Right now is Hungary that is keeping Poland of being kicked out and vice versa
Thanks @@LeandritoDendrito interesting, my great grandmother always spoke having lineage from Portugal/Spain but I can’t seem to find history before 1800
Keep in mind the Israeli passport seems to be getting even better. With UAE, Bahrain, Somalia and Morocco just signing peace agreements the arab/muslim world is now also accessible.
Yeah and actually in Morocco when Israeli citizens land in the kingdom, they pay for visa upon arrival (and not before they fly) What they spend on visas depends on what kind of visas they buy (tourist, student, worker, etc)
The Israeli passport is rank 23 (access to 161 countries) in the world and you get healthcare and if somthing happns to you abroad the state awalyes take care of it.
@Libre Palestina American tax money doesn't goes to the Israeli economy, the $3.8B all goes back the the american economy, the aid is for the military and Israel can only use it by buying defence from the US, so before you say things without checking the facts...
The state take care of you only if prime minister can make any buzz of it: if you are stuck in arab countries, for example. If you are thrown to jail in Belarus or Russia you can forget it.
I've thought about this lately Andrew, being an American who doesn't feel particularly at home here. Been to Israel six times, and while it is seemingly a chaotic place full of pushy people, I do feel like I'm amongst my own there (I am Jewish and speak a little Hebrew). There are lightly populated parts of the country that are more small town in feeling than Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, where one could probably enjoy a secure, peaceful life.
Israeli citizen here. Minor nitpick: As far as I know, if you are over 28 when you get your citizenship, you don't need to serve in the military. If you are between 18 and 28, but you're not a resident, you also don't have to serve. You can get a waiver, which is simple to get from any Israeli consulate.
Not really, as an israeli that served in the IDF (also an oleh from Russia), personally met in the army an oleh from the US that was 24 yo and he told me that he wrote official letters and beg everywhere he could to get drafted into the army as he was "too old" for a mandatory service. Btw he served about a year and a half eventually if im not wrong.
@@andrey6898 I think the original comment was referring to those who don’t want to service in the military. Since this guy was begging to serve, then that is different
@Bit coin well I'm blacklisted from China for 2 more years on my UK passports but I really want to get in , love it there; so an Israeli passport is an easy way back in but I will get proper documents right this time to legally reside there, my Great Grandmother has the german ashkenazi Jewish genetics so it shouldn't be hard to prove as I have the registrations from my Grandfather who is the one that collected all our family's record's and lineage tree
There are many reasons we’ve held off on Israeli passports. One of which is if we do actually want to move to Israel one day (or our kids do), we wouldn’t want to miss out on the Aliyah benefits we would be entitled to at the time.
The thing I have realised watching your channel as a 5-figure income earner is that my “go where you are treated best” is definitely different to 7 and 8-figure entrepreneurs 🤔 😅
During its 73 years, the vast majority of Jews migrated to Israel from poor countries in the middle east and eastern Europe. But since the 21st century, more and more Jews come back to Israel from rich countries in North America and Western Europe, especially France. It means that the new migrants are way richer than the local population. The return of French Jews to Israel often gets criticized by the local Israelis, because thus the housing prices increase drastically. Israel isn't prepared to absorb migrants from rich countries.
Thank you Andrew! Can you please make a video discussing the various cities in Israel? Which ones are cheaper, which ones are teeming with life, etc. By the way, serving in the military is not seen as a drawback when you love your country / your people. And you get lots of respect for being in the military. And benefits too, of course.
Anyone contemplating making aliyah (as I have) must understand that cost of living is a HUGE issue, throughout the country. Nevertheless, from a Jewish and Zionist point of view, it can be a very fulfilling and indeed happy place to live.
I think it is. As a New Yorker I think Israel is a tax haven unless you earn a salary. So like capital gains tax, dividend taxes, estate tax, corporate tax, and sometimes property tax are considerably lower. Especially with Biden in the house. Anyway as a Jew I’d love to move there.
@Charles Busby not being able to renounce your citizenship can be really usefull. For exaple, you could get german or korean or japanese citizenship without having to renounce your previous citizenship
Israelis now are also eligible for ESTA to visit the USA. Though it should be noted this is only for Israeli Biometric passports, which are generally only given to citizens who live in Israel.
My US passport stamped with a simple visit to Israel was not accepted in many countries in Middle East 20 years ago. I had to be issued a second US passport just to visit countries like Jordan and Iraq. Check to see which countries reject the passport.
They don’t stamp anymore because of this. They give you a separate piece of paper, like a ticket, you gotta keep with your passport during your stay in the country. So that’s not something you should worry about anymore
It is not the case anymore. I've visited Israel a few times in the last 10 years and they don't stamp the passport. Just a tiny slip of paper. Also, Jordan-Israel travel is common today

@@jetsetradio7715 I can't stand the place personally, gets on my nerves, but so do large metropolitan areas; If I could give your friend one bit of advice, pay zero attention to what Israelis say, only to what they do (true everywhere but really true in Israel)
The bureaucracy isn't a picnic in the United States either. It's if you are native born, and don't do much or move around, you don't have to deal with it too much. The WSJ had a great example of a New Yorker who lived in Illinois and wanted to go back to New York and get her Drivers License. She couldn't get it. one state only faxes the paperwork. The other state refuses to accept faxes. She isn't allowed to drive. Too many people claim a bureaucracy brutal because you have to wait in line, or actually do something. (This reminds me of another video on the channel about how getting travel Visa's isn't a big deal) Not because it's a pile of crap like this, and millions of other sad stories. I got some that'll leave you in tears.
@@jeffweingrad4658 Not sure who would win a bureaucracy olympics but it would be a close match. I got a good one from Israel: met a recent Israeli immigrant once that broke her arm and went to get a cast, her paperwork was a bit rushed perhaps so she could go to hospital?, unsure, but somehow her age was entered as 72 instead of 27 on her id, months later she was still unable to get it fixed, incapable of convincing bureaucrats that she was not 72! That's a special kind of thick you have to work hard to achieve.
@@CheekyMonkey888 That sounds like something American credit report companies do. Equifax gets sued for it, but you still can't convince them of what your name really is when they arbitrarily change it. Not sure whose worse sometimes, corporations or governments. I'm starting to think corporations with the new fad of outsourcing every single aspect of the company so that no one ever takes the blame, or fixes anything. Sometimes I prefer the hope of due process, even flawed.

I read online that a Jewish person can ONLY obtain Israeli citizenship if they make Aliyah (moving to live in Israel). You cannot obtain an Israeli citizenship and live only in USA. Also, one can have dual citizenship- American and Israeli. Do you have any comments?
From someone who lived in Israel for years (and moved around a bit in general) there's not much of a reason why not but I don't see any great arguments for why yes compared with the many better alternatives... Israel u see has it's issues... For example extremely inflated real estate market due to corruption for the most part.... Beurocrats heavily limits the release if new lands for construction.. (Lands owned already by the state... Not to mention that only a organization named kakal (living fund for Israel...) Can legally buy lands for the nation Things got so bad that don't get me started on the settlements... Not that I give any snit... Politically wise but u get the point There's also a socialized healthcare system in place which isn't exactly great again from personal experience Not horrible but still And lots and lots and lots of problems... The heat is unbearable to give an example Education is good but.... U don't exactly have the best workforce in the world Lots of issues such as doing business on Saturdays and in general creationist religious control over society (less so in some places but very much in others) It is a melting pot of cultures just as the us And there are issues and benefits to that...

Israel is about to become a Tier-A citizenship as Israel is about to join the US VWP (ESTA) in late 2023. I am Israeli, parents moved from Russia when I was a toddler. It's a great way to get "whitewashed" out of one's roots if they are deemed to be problematic. Also, since the Abraham Accords peace agreements (Trump admin), Israelis can travel to many Muslim countries they couldn't before. And while in some countries people would frown upon you, Israelis are popular in all western countries if that's important to you. Just have to keep at arm's length from places with a lot of Syrian refugees and stuff like that.
@@InfoDigit-sb6yc you can certainly come as a tourist if you have a visa or citizenship that has visa-free access to Israel. As for naturalization, unless you will be fortunate enough to find an Israeli woman (20% of Israelis are Arabs, most Muslim) who would want to marry you and bring you through family unification, you can never become a citizen here.
@@InfoDigit-sb6yc I understand. The state of marriage is awful even here. There're pros and cons to every system, but in Israel all marriage and divorce have to go through religious courts. Which for Muslims would be Shari'a courts according to Islamic laws. I don't know if it makes things any better, but many men love it.
Since this video was published the Israeli Supreme Court issued a ruling that will make it easier to convert in such a way that allows you to gain Israeli citizenship.
This is being challenged. We don't need convert's coming only for economic reasons like the Russians and many Ethiopians. The conversion process takes 2-6 years and problematic for the future security of the country like these Russians who spied on Israel based for Iran that came out recently.
Israel has a few issues: it may have a decent standard of living (for the Middle East), but its GDP per capita isn't that great! It's somewhere between Italy and Cyprus, which means that if you're a Jew living in Switzerland or Norway and decide to move to Israel, you will be taking a cut in salary. The other issue is the political stability. Hamas is constantly firing rockets from the Gaza strip and Hezbollah is also threatening Israel. Sure, the IDF is well trained and well-funded, but to me it doesn't make sense to leave behind a safe country in Europe or North America, just to settle among your fellow Jews.
I don’t think he’s done a video about joining the French Foreign Legion yet. In one year you get French citizenship and are thus in the EU, and they pay, house, and feed you for the five years you’re working for them. Similarly, I don’t think he’s ever covered the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty which gave American and Dutch entrepreneurs a way into each other’s country.
In the past, but not anymore. Communist party there has now grown strong enough to implement its complete control of its citizens and passport holders. You’re basically jumping from the frying pan (USA) into the actual fire (Communist Party of China).

So lets say I have an American friend who works in the Middle East. But he loves Israel as a potential retirement location. He appears to have some Jewish heritage on his mother's side. Asking for this friend.. if he gets an Israeli Passport as a second Passport will lets say a country... Kuwait, Qatar, KSA.... would they be able to find out about the second passport? Would he have issues keeping his job in the GCC? Asking for a friend
They wont find out. especially for that starting from 2012 if i am not wrong, you are not receiving any border control stamps on both ways (arrival and departure) so arab countries will never know that you visited Israel. Plus due to recent normalization you can visit following gulf countries with an Israeli passport (visa free) UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Oman
Every person with Jewish blood has opportunity to go on 10 days exploratory visit to Israel for free! The only condition, except to have jewish origin is to be up 26 years old
So I go to the synagoge, talk to rabbie, ask him for becoming jewish, get passport and win? Austria, Europe does not allow second citizenship. Spain does, but does not help outside of Spain (my father is spanish and complains on that).
"go to the synagoge, talk to rabbie, ask him for becoming jewish" - will take you about 2 years on supervision, also if you ar emerried so is your wife would need to do it also (harder for weman as they born new jews), i presenly have rus and isr passports
An Israeli passport really does you no good if your ultimate goal is to renounce US citizenship so that you can live in Malaysia on a residency permit though.
@@johnq.public2621 Malaysia along with many other majority Muslim nations do not allow Israeli citizens to enter their territory. That is beginning to change with relations having normalized with Bahrain, the UAE, & Morocco, along with Saudi Arabia allowing commercial overflights between Israel & the UAE, but there are still numerous Muslim nations that do not allow Israeli citizens entrance.
If you keep US citizenship with Israel citizenship, you can still travel to Malaysia but if you renounce US citizenship, then you will need a different citizenship to enter Malaysia with. Get a Caribbean passport then. Most people aren't actually going to renounce US citizenship as much as Andrew recommends doing that.

Generally no, but if you know the right people then yes. If you don't have at least a 7 figure net worth there's zero chance you know the right people.
You can convert and make Aliyah to Israel, then receiving citizenship. The thing is getting your conversion recognised in Israel can be tricky at times, and they will try and screen through those converting for just Aliyah
It has been done, and technically possible but it’ll take years, and they actually check your dedication to the religion, customs, lifestyle and knowledge. Not worth it.
There is a saying in Israel: if you want to small fortune, come here with a big one. This place is a political haven (it protected me from the Iraq War in the reserves). I am a bottom feeder and will be relying on a pension here.

I'm an American born citizen who was raised in a dual faith household to a Jewish farther and a Lutheran mother. Im versed in Levitic and Ezraic law. However even though I'm not recognized as a Jew under those conditions. I've always been told that I can claim citizenship under Israel's law of right of return by producing my father's Barmitzva certificate. Does anyone know if that is actually Correct? I would be curious to know either way. Im also curious if this law applies to spouses and descendants.
The most common way to show Jewishness is via a letter from your rabbi. There are alternate ways to prove this. If you live in North America, you should contact Nefesh b'nefesh
You are correct, plus once you will receive Israeli citizenship due to the law of right of return, your family (partner + underage kids) will receive it with you as well. Your kids over 18 will still have the right of return (their grandfather was a jew) but they should claim for it apart from you. In case you\your kids wont claim for israeli citizenship, your grandchildren will not have this opportunity as they will be 4th generation (applies only for 3d generation)
Yes you can, the process is not so easy and take about 5 years to get full citizenship. Plus you will have to live here for a few months (1-3) only with tourist visa, meaning no work permit and no national insurance, after that you will get A1 visa (work permit) and after a year you will get Israeli residenship (with national insurance etc). Until the end of the naturalisation process you will be checked yearly by the goverment, you will have an interview every year where you will need to show pictures of you together, answer some questions and bring letters from your local friends or neigbours which will prove that you live together as a couple. Also important thing to keep in mind: until the very end of the process (where you will get an israeli passport) in case you will divorce from your israeli partner you will be immediatly deported from the country, AND if you will have kids with your israeli partner that will be born during this 5 years (they will be Israeli citizens) the state wont let you to take them in case of the divorce!

Bill Bauer As long as you have 1 Jewish grandparent then you can make Aliyah and get Israeli citizenship. However you will not be recognized as Jewish in the eyes of the religious authorities and thus you can't marry, divorce, or get buried in a Jewish cemetary.
Okay Andrew, I was wondering something about the places you do business in: what do you think about demographic trends in birthrates and how that factors into market growth? Places like Armenia, Serbia, etc have birthrates below replacement levels and yet you're investing there. Is that something you factor into a country for the long term or is it not as big an issue in major cities? Maybe this would be a good topic of a future video or something.
If I could that I don't because I'm a christian, I personally wouldn't get it because of the mandatory military service for everyone. As I live abroad maybe it wouldn't affect me but maybe in the future will affect me or even my children if I choose to live in israel. VIDEO SUGGESTION: MANDATORY MILITARY SERVICE COUNTRIES.
Don’t you have to renounce your German citizenship, as well, before they consider you a foreigner? Unless @inge mohr is one of those 2nd and 3rd generation Turks who cannot get German citizenship because Germany doesn’t consider you German enough (no citizenship by birth, there).
@@Egilhelmson you have to renounce your turkish citizenship to become german and citizenship by german birthplace is a thing, BUT NOT IMMEDIATELY. you are able to apply for it by age 16+ on your own volition and by then you should tick the boxes for german citizenship which is lawful residence, knowledge of german language etc. male turks got a problem still: turkey wont release them without their mandatory military service done. they either serve or pay a ransom... :(
well, you could....but then you also happily renounce the US one ? unless you can claim german citizenship by descent you are out of luck here: one citizenship only
In my opinion, as an European, i don't think i would take an Israeli passport. If I were a jew proabaly I would have a different opinion as I'd potentially be proud of being an Israeli citizen, but since I'm not a jew and I'm interested in the Arab world I wouldn't take it. Besides that Israel doesn't add much if u already have a western passport and if u just wanted a place where you're left alone, well can't get that, Israel is a high tax country
@@VwapTrader It's a religion. There are multiple ethnicities who commonly practice the religion. Ashkenazim, Mizrahim, and Sephardim being the most common. They each have different genetic backgrounds and different ancestral origins.
@@ChanaElisheva There's no conclusive genetic proof of descent from Jacob. I am part Ashkenazim and have had genetic testing done as well, that is merely a claim based on religious texts. Most popular and current theories on the origin of humans of course leads us back to a single origin point, most likely in northern Africa, so if you believe these theories then of course we're all related, but some are more recently related than others. Ashkenazim overwhelmingly control the state in Israel and there is little to no scientific evidence of a genetic lineage leading back to any of the Semitic speaking peoples for Ashkenazim. Most of their genetics are from western Russia/Eastern Europe with some markers that trace back to some western-asian turkic tribes who are believed by some to be converts. However, the Sephardim have weak genetic links to actual Semitic peoples from that region and the Mizrahim have fairly strong Semitic links, many have family who have always been in the region. The Arabic islamists of the region also have strong genetic ties to the ancient Semitic tribes of the region, so yes there are genetic ties between the supposed descendants of Jacob and the followers of Mohammed. I have little love for Christianity or any form of monotheism, but the idea that the descendants of Jacob and the followers of Mohammed were peaceful before the Crusades is a very fine joke. I appreciate the levity in these trying times. The entire region was packed with slavers from both of those monotheistic faiths who held and/or took slaves of all faiths and ethnicities... pretty much since the dawn of anything resembling history. One need only consult the words of their very own religious texts (of either of these faiths) to find all the rules governing the taking, holding, treatment, and genital mutilation (circumcision in one case, castration in the other) of slaves. Of course slavery was commonplace back then, but prevalence doesn't make it peaceful. The caliphate also invaded Iberia in the 8th century and the various tribes were always warring amongst each other. It was never a peaceful region, nor were its people especially peaceful, and it's pretty hard to say that turnabout isn't fair play when speaking of the Crusades considering the Iberian invasion.
You said Israel is controversial for approximatrly 10 times. Fun fact: Israel is controversial only among Muslim country. Why forcing a controversion upon a non-controversial country?
Got my Israeli citizenship about 5 years ago. The process was incredibly easy. Once I moved there on a tourist visa I put in all my paperwork and about 2 months later I had a new passport. They even pay new immigrants for the first 6 months to help you get on your feet. First 10 years in the country is a tax holiday as well. If your over 23/24, don't worry about having to join the army. I had to beg to get in at 24 because I was too old.

Are you Jewish? Is it worth for non Jews to immigrate? Probably more paperwork and language test are required.
Please note; if visiting Israel, your passport will not be stamped at customs. A small slip of paper is given instead.
Good video. Men who move to Israel after 28 don’t get called to the army and women after 18 or 19 can get out of it. It isn’t a passport you can clam from abroad. You will have to live there a year or so to finish the process. Also, there is a ten year tax holiday on worldwide income for new citizens that is almost the same as Portugal if you are a tax resident in Israel.

Sometimes you have an emotional connection to Iran, or Israel so you want a passport there. I bet most people miss that aspect. Thank you for letting me comment in some of these sub-threads. And Good Shabbos to all.
One of the most precious and important thing I ever did in my life was to become an Israeli. I am so proud to be an Israeli, and am American.

Sephardic Jews are entitled to Portuguese citizenship, as well as descendants of people who were forcedly converted during the Inquisition. I am a Portuguese citizen myself through that, and I provide services for Sephardim and genealogical research for descendants. Some countries like Brazil were the main destination of those fleeing the Inquisition to the New World.
Hallo Leandro,
add Spanish and even French citizenship to your Portuguese, or at least try. Spain gives citizenship to Sephardic Jews too. France used to do this too those Sephardic Jews, who lived in those North African countries, which were French departments or territories. Good luck!
Ashkenasic Jews don't have the right to a citizenship of any Central European country by virtue of Ashkenasic, what a pity!
@@maialebedinskaia5125 I signed my Spanish papers in 2019, and I am waiting to get it anytime soon. However, the law is closed for new applicants there. In the case of France it's a little bit more complicated for me. My family never went to the African countries and came straight to Brazil
Hi Leandro, is their a migration connection between Jewish people from Plock Poland and Portugal?
@@astrobleme unfortunately, no. Polish Jews are Ashkenazi. But descendants of those who migrated to other countries such as the USA or Brazil (we have a big community here) are entitled to Polish citizenship. I can't guarantee, however, that Poland will stay in the EU very much longer. Right now is Hungary that is keeping Poland of being kicked out and vice versa
Thanks @@LeandritoDendrito interesting, my great grandmother always spoke having lineage from Portugal/Spain but I can’t seem to find history before 1800
Good point about countries with diasporas finding it difficult to impose worldwide citizenship-based taxation. The same may be true of the U.K.
Keep in mind the Israeli passport seems to be getting even better. With UAE, Bahrain, Somalia and Morocco just signing peace agreements the arab/muslim world is now also accessible.
Yeah and actually in Morocco when Israeli citizens land in the kingdom, they pay for visa upon arrival (and not before they fly) What they spend on visas depends on what kind of visas they buy (tourist, student, worker, etc)
Will i get the Israeli citizenship if I joined Israeli army???
This aged like milk
The Israeli passport is rank 23 (access to 161 countries) in the world and you get healthcare and if somthing happns to you abroad the state awalyes take care of it.
only if you're resident
The rank will likely improve with the Abraham Accord. Eg. Israelis are now welcomed in UAE
@Libre Palestina American tax money doesn't goes to the Israeli economy, the $3.8B all goes back the the american economy, the aid is for the military and Israel can only use it by buying defence from the US, so before you say things without checking the facts...
The state take care of you only if prime minister can make any buzz of it: if you are stuck in arab countries, for example. If you are thrown to jail in Belarus or Russia you can forget it.
@@sych44 our pm actually helped to release an israeli woman in russian jail
I've thought about this lately Andrew, being an American who doesn't feel particularly at home here. Been to Israel six times, and while it is seemingly a chaotic place full of pushy people, I do feel like I'm amongst my own there (I am Jewish and speak a little Hebrew). There are lightly populated parts of the country that are more small town in feeling than Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, where one could probably enjoy a secure, peaceful life.
Then leave America, we don't people that can't be loyal to their country
Good. Go. Get the F out of here
Yeah until you start supporting Palestine, this country is ONLY shit and it's a fact
Israeli citizen here.
Minor nitpick:
As far as I know, if you are over 28 when you get your citizenship, you don't need to serve in the military.
If you are between 18 and 28, but you're not a resident, you also don't have to serve. You can get a waiver, which is simple to get from any Israeli consulate.
On my cell.
Actually the exemption is now 26 and older.
Not really, as an israeli that served in the IDF (also an oleh from Russia), personally met in the army an oleh from the US that was 24 yo and he told me that he wrote official letters and beg everywhere he could to get drafted into the army as he was "too old" for a mandatory service. Btw he served about a year and a half eventually if im not wrong.
@@andrey6898 I think the original comment was referring to those who don’t want to service in the military.
Since this guy was begging to serve, then that is different
@@1queijocas Yes, but the point is that these people will probably not be drafted
Yes. If he is Jewish and can get the Israeli citizenship he should definitely do it. I would if I could.
Thank you Andrew & Nomad Capitalist. Great Content as always.
That's crazy I was thinking about doing this yesterday
@Bit coin well I'm blacklisted from China for 2 more years on my UK passports but I really want to get in , love it there; so an Israeli passport is an easy way back in but I will get proper documents right this time to legally reside there, my Great Grandmother has the german ashkenazi Jewish genetics so it shouldn't be hard to prove as I have the registrations from my Grandfather who is the one that collected all our family's record's and lineage tree
@Bit coin yeah that should be easy , but skeptical about allowing such corporations to hold my genetic data
There are many reasons we’ve held off on Israeli passports. One of which is if we do actually want to move to Israel one day (or our kids do), we wouldn’t want to miss out on the Aliyah benefits we would be entitled to at the time.

Wdym?
During its 73 years, the vast majority of Jews migrated to Israel from poor countries in the middle east and eastern Europe.
But since the 21st century, more and more Jews come back to Israel from rich countries in North America and Western Europe, especially France. It means that the new migrants are way richer than the local population.
The return of French Jews to Israel often gets criticized by the local Israelis, because thus the housing prices increase drastically.
Israel isn't prepared to absorb migrants from rich countries.
Thank you Andrew!
Can you please make a video discussing the various cities in Israel? Which ones are cheaper, which ones are teeming with life, etc.
By the way, serving in the military is not seen as a drawback when you love your country / your people. And you get lots of respect for being in the military. And benefits too, of course.
Well,
Here I'd suggest you not to live in tel Aviv lol
Anyone contemplating making aliyah (as I have) must understand that cost of living is a HUGE issue, throughout the country. Nevertheless, from a Jewish and Zionist point of view, it can be a very fulfilling and indeed happy place to live.
As an Israeli, so fucking cool to see this video. Hopefully israel would turn more capitalist by the day.
I think it is. As a New Yorker I think Israel is a tax haven unless you earn a salary. So like capital gains tax, dividend taxes, estate tax, corporate tax, and sometimes property tax are considerably lower. Especially with Biden in the house.
Anyway as a Jew I’d love to move there.
what about Argentina citizenship. would you get it if you knew it couldn't be renounced?
@Charles Busby not being able to renounce your citizenship can be really usefull. For exaple, you could get german or korean or japanese citizenship without having to renounce your previous citizenship
@@menkaur My mom is Korean and can keep dual citizenship.
Do you have to go to Israel to get your citizenship or could I do it at the Embassy in London?
Israelis now are also eligible for ESTA to visit the USA. Though it should be noted this is only for Israeli Biometric passports, which are generally only given to citizens who live in Israel.
hello, I want to make Aliyah for get Israeli citizenship(im jew etc) then i can travel for USA without VISA, u think its possible ?? thanks
@@dudupramuk it's possible but you have to live for a year in Israel to get a biometric passport.
My US passport stamped with a simple visit to Israel was not accepted in many countries in Middle East 20 years ago. I had to be issued a second US passport just to visit countries like Jordan and Iraq. Check to see which countries reject the passport.
They don’t stamp anymore because of this. They give you a separate piece of paper, like a ticket, you gotta keep with your passport during your stay in the country. So that’s not something you should worry about anymore
It is not the case anymore. I've visited Israel a few times in the last 10 years and they don't stamp the passport. Just a tiny slip of paper. Also, Jordan-Israel travel is common today

@@jetsetradio7715 I can't stand the place personally, gets on my nerves, but so do large metropolitan areas; If I could give your friend one bit of advice, pay zero attention to what Israelis say, only to what they do (true everywhere but really true in Israel)
The bureaucracy isn't a picnic in the United States either. It's if you are native born, and don't do much or move around, you don't have to deal with it too much. The WSJ had a great example of a New Yorker who lived in Illinois and wanted to go back to New York and get her Drivers License. She couldn't get it. one state only faxes the paperwork. The other state refuses to accept faxes. She isn't allowed to drive.
Too many people claim a bureaucracy brutal because you have to wait in line, or actually do something. (This reminds me of another video on the channel about how getting travel Visa's isn't a big deal) Not because it's a pile of crap like this, and millions of other sad stories. I got some that'll leave you in tears.
@@jeffweingrad4658 Not sure who would win a bureaucracy olympics but it would be a close match. I got a good one from Israel: met a recent Israeli immigrant once that broke her arm and went to get a cast, her paperwork was a bit rushed perhaps so she could go to hospital?, unsure, but somehow her age was entered as 72 instead of 27 on her id, months later she was still unable to get it fixed, incapable of convincing bureaucrats that she was not 72! That's a special kind of thick you have to work hard to achieve.
@@CheekyMonkey888 That sounds like something American credit report companies do. Equifax gets sued for it, but you still can't convince them of what your name really is when they arbitrarily change it. Not sure whose worse sometimes, corporations or governments.

Sometimes I prefer the hope of due process, even flawed.
I just want to have it as a travel document. I don't want to live in Israel nor serve in their military. Do I still have to live there to get it?

I'm sure this will be a civilized comment section...
Why, it's a cute country with a lot of stone and many domes.
what do you expect? The Zionist state is responsible for basically all problems that exist today
So far I’m pleasantly surprised
From someone who lived in Israel for years (and moved around a bit in general) there's not much of a reason why not but I don't see any great arguments for why yes compared with the many better alternatives...
Israel u see has it's issues...
For example extremely inflated real estate market due to corruption for the most part....
Beurocrats heavily limits the release if new lands for construction.. (Lands owned already by the state... Not to mention that only a organization named kakal (living fund for Israel...) Can legally buy lands for the nation
Things got so bad that don't get me started on the settlements... Not that I give any snit... Politically wise but u get the point
There's also a socialized healthcare system in place which isn't exactly great again from personal experience
Not horrible but still
And lots and lots and lots of problems...
The heat is unbearable to give an example
Education is good but.... U don't exactly have the best workforce in the world
Lots of issues such as doing business on Saturdays and in general creationist religious control over society (less so in some places but very much in others)
It is a melting pot of cultures just as the us
And there are issues and benefits to that...
My grand father who kicked out of what called now Israel and he was lucky because he had run before the Israelis killed him, and who tried for more than 70 years to go back to his land to his village like millions of Palestinens who kicked out there lands and Israel stole there lands homes villages and then Deny all of them to go back to their land , and give that right Easley for people who never know anything about this land and give them the land that they stole from the people who kicked out, my grand father died 3 years ago in Jordan and someone else who never know anything about this land live in his village because he is Jewish and my grand father was not , till my that is not apartheid

can you do one on Austria?
will I have to pay tax on my us income?
Israel is about to become a Tier-A citizenship as Israel is about to join the US VWP (ESTA) in late 2023.
I am Israeli, parents moved from Russia when I was a toddler. It's a great way to get "whitewashed" out of one's roots if they are deemed to be problematic. Also, since the Abraham Accords peace agreements (Trump admin), Israelis can travel to many Muslim countries they couldn't before. And while in some countries people would frown upon you, Israelis are popular in all western countries if that's important to you.
Just have to keep at arm's length from places with a lot of Syrian refugees and stuff like that.
@@InfoDigit-sb6yc you can certainly come as a tourist if you have a visa or citizenship that has visa-free access to Israel.
As for naturalization, unless you will be fortunate enough to find an Israeli woman (20% of Israelis are Arabs, most Muslim) who would want to marry you and bring you through family unification, you can never become a citizen here.
@@InfoDigit-sb6yc I understand. The state of marriage is awful even here.
There're pros and cons to every system, but in Israel all marriage and divorce have to go through religious courts. Which for Muslims would be Shari'a courts according to Islamic laws.

If your jewish does Israel have investor visas?
Since this video was published the Israeli Supreme Court issued a ruling that will make it easier to convert in such a way that allows you to gain Israeli citizenship.
How so?
This is being challenged. We don't need convert's coming only for economic reasons like the Russians and many Ethiopians. The conversion process takes 2-6 years and problematic for the future security of the country like these Russians who spied on Israel based for Iran that came out recently.
Does that include Humanistic jewish converts or religious jews only?
Israel has a few issues: it may have a decent standard of living (for the Middle East), but its GDP per capita isn't that great! It's somewhere between Italy and Cyprus, which means that if you're a Jew living in Switzerland or Norway and decide to move to Israel, you will be taking a cut in salary. The other issue is the political stability. Hamas is constantly firing rockets from the Gaza strip and Hezbollah is also threatening Israel. Sure, the IDF is well trained and well-funded, but to me it doesn't make sense to leave behind a safe country in Europe or North America, just to settle among your fellow Jews.
This is why i admire the jews, always helping each other. They help other jews more than they help themselves.
This policy sometimes gets criticized by local Israelis.

I'm an American born citizen who was raised in a dual faith household to a Jewish farther and a Lutheran mother. Im versed in Levitic and Ezraic law.

Contact the local israeli consulate closest to your home
The most common way to show Jewishness is via a letter from your rabbi. There are alternate ways to prove this. If you live in North America, you should contact Nefesh b'nefesh
So you are not Jewish. One's Jewishness is according to the maternal bloodline.
You can claim Israeli citizenship if one of your parents or grandparents is Jewish.
You are correct, plus once you will receive Israeli citizenship due to the law of right of return, your family (partner + underage kids) will receive it with you as well. Your kids over 18 will still have the right of return (their grandfather was a jew) but they should claim for it apart from you. In case you\your kids wont claim for israeli citizenship, your grandchildren will not have this opportunity as they will be 4th generation (applies only for 3d generation)
I also have Jewish blood in me too 🙂👍
Same.
Can you get Israeli citizenship by marrying for how many years? Anyone know the details please tell me
Yes you can, the process is not so easy and take about 5 years to get full citizenship. Plus you will have to live here for a few months (1-3) only with tourist visa, meaning no work permit and no national insurance, after that you will get A1 visa (work permit) and after a year you will get Israeli residenship (with national insurance etc). Until the end of the naturalisation process you will be checked yearly by the goverment, you will have an interview every year where you will need to show pictures of you together, answer some questions and bring letters from your local friends or neigbours which will prove that you live together as a couple.
Also important thing to keep in mind: until the very end of the process (where you will get an israeli passport) in case you will divorce from your israeli partner you will be immediatly deported from the country, AND if you will have kids with your israeli partner that will be born during this 5 years (they will be Israeli citizens) the state wont let you to take them in case of the divorce!

If I joined Israeli army ,will i get the Israeli citizenship??
I’m a naturalized US citizen, can I get a second German passport that’s my native country.
Yes I like to know too. Also born in germany and lived there for 27 years. Canadian now.
Don’t you have to renounce your German citizenship, as well, before they consider you a foreigner? Unless @inge mohr is one of those 2nd and 3rd generation Turks who cannot get German citizenship because Germany doesn’t consider you German enough (no citizenship by birth, there).
@@Egilhelmson you have to renounce your turkish citizenship to become german and citizenship by german birthplace is a thing, BUT NOT IMMEDIATELY. you are able to apply for it by age 16+ on your own volition and by then you should tick the boxes for german citizenship which is lawful residence, knowledge of german language etc.
male turks got a problem still: turkey wont release them without their mandatory military service done. they either serve or pay a ransom... :(
well, you could....but then you also happily renounce the US one ? unless you can claim german citizenship by descent you are out of luck here: one citizenship only
In my opinion, as an European, i don't think i would take an Israeli passport. If I were a jew proabaly I would have a different opinion as I'd potentially be proud of being an Israeli citizen, but since I'm not a jew and I'm interested in the Arab world I wouldn't take it. Besides that Israel doesn't add much if u already have a western passport and if u just wanted a place where you're left alone, well can't get that, Israel is a high tax country
NO
I want Jewish citizenship
There isn’t such a thing.
Jewish is an ethnicity.
@@VwapTrader It's a religion. There are multiple ethnicities who commonly practice the religion. Ashkenazim, Mizrahim, and Sephardim being the most common. They each have different genetic backgrounds and different ancestral origins.
@@ChanaElisheva There's no conclusive genetic proof of descent from Jacob. I am part Ashkenazim and have had genetic testing done as well, that is merely a claim based on religious texts.
Most popular and current theories on the origin of humans of course leads us back to a single origin point, most likely in northern Africa, so if you believe these theories then of course we're all related, but some are more recently related than others. Ashkenazim overwhelmingly control the state in Israel and there is little to no scientific evidence of a genetic lineage leading back to any of the Semitic speaking peoples for Ashkenazim. Most of their genetics are from western Russia/Eastern Europe with some markers that trace back to some western-asian turkic tribes who are believed by some to be converts. However, the Sephardim have weak genetic links to actual Semitic peoples from that region and the Mizrahim have fairly strong Semitic links, many have family who have always been in the region. The Arabic islamists of the region also have strong genetic ties to the ancient Semitic tribes of the region, so yes there are genetic ties between the supposed descendants of Jacob and the followers of Mohammed.
I have little love for Christianity or any form of monotheism, but the idea that the descendants of Jacob and the followers of Mohammed were peaceful before the Crusades is a very fine joke. I appreciate the levity in these trying times. The entire region was packed with slavers from both of those monotheistic faiths who held and/or took slaves of all faiths and ethnicities... pretty much since the dawn of anything resembling history. One need only consult the words of their very own religious texts (of either of these faiths) to find all the rules governing the taking, holding, treatment, and genital mutilation (circumcision in one case, castration in the other) of slaves. Of course slavery was commonplace back then, but prevalence doesn't make it peaceful. The caliphate also invaded Iberia in the 8th century and the various tribes were always warring amongst each other. It was never a peaceful region, nor were its people especially peaceful, and it's pretty hard to say that turnabout isn't fair play when speaking of the Crusades considering the Iberian invasion.
I want to report your comment
I worked in Tel Aviv for some months. I would accept citizenship tomorrow. I am not Jewish though.
You're smart!!
You said Israel is controversial for approximatrly 10 times.
Fun fact: Israel is controversial only among Muslim country.
Why forcing a controversion upon a non-controversial country?
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Why are you winking 😉? 1:48
And Palestinian’s house is demolished everyday... 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
There are no falestinians in the 1st place.
The alleged nationality is a fake entity invented in the 1970s.
