Breaking News: Major Policy Updates in Favor of International Couples

This week, PIBA released two major updates to the partner visa protocols:

• Protocol 5.2.0008 (נוהל הטיפול במתן מעמד לבן זוג זר הנשוי לאזרח ישראלי), which applies to married couples;
• Protocol 5.2.0009 (נוהל הטיפול במתן מעמד לבני זוג של ישראלים, לרבות בני אותו מין), which applies to non-married couples and same-sex couples.
