The Appeals Tribunal

What is the Appeals Tribunal

The Appeals Tribunal is a court for foreigners established as a judicial instance with special authority in immigration matters. Its role is to exercise judicial review over the authorities’ decisions in the areas of citizenship, status, and immigration law.

The Appeals Tribunal operates as an independent court, separate from the District Court or the Ministry of Interior. Its decisions often have significant implications for human rights issues. The Appeals Tribunal operates under the Entry into Israel Law and serves as an appeals body for decisions made by the Population and Immigration Authority regarding entry, residence, and stay in Israel, as well as citizenship matters under this law. The authority to grant residence visas and entry permits to Israel lies with the Population and Immigration Authority, which has been authorized to do so by the Ministry of Interior.

Filing an appeal to the Appeals Tribunal

In case of rejection of an application by the Population and Immigration Authority or the Ministry of Interior, the applicant has the right to file an appeal or request a rehearing. The appeal must be filed immediately within 21 days from the date of rejection. In case of rejection in an internal appeal of the authority, an appeal should be filed with the Appeals Tribunal. Appeals against the authority’s decisions are currently submitted to three Appeals Tribunals in Israel located in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Be’er Sheva, which replace the former appeal committees that used to handle appeals against the authority’s decisions. Appeals against decisions of the Appeals Tribunal can be filed with the District Courts sitting as Administrative Courts.

Experience of Zari Hazan & Co. Law Firm in the Appeals Tribunal

Zari Hazan & Co. Law Firm regularly represents clients in the Appeals Tribunal, in appeal proceedings against decisions of the Immigration and Population Authority. In many cases, we have succeeded in overturning the authority’s decision or canceling it and returning it for discussion before the relevant Population Authority bureau in the Ministry of Interior.

Our firm has gained deep familiarity and unique expertise in appeals against the authority’s decisions. In many cases, even under challenging circumstances, we manage to cancel decisions of the authority that were made unlawfully, based on various legal and factual grounds, regarding the granting of entry and residence permits to foreign workers, spouses of Israelis, parents and children of Israelis, and more.

I want to thank from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of my family Zari Hazan, an outstanding lawyer, and all the women in the office, his right hand, for the great success (precedent) he achieved for our family.

This comes after years of trying to act alone. We have now gained peace and tranquility.

Now we are waiting for the next win and precedent with another family member… Wishing all of us success 🙌 You succeeded once, we know it’s only a matter of time until the next success. Thank you so much 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Months ago, I was lost in the labyrinth of the Ministry of Interior and I turned to Zari Hazan’s law firm after having started my Aliyah process. I had already faced countless obstacles, lost faith in the system, and felt completely defeated. But then I met my lawyer, Meytal and her team. She saw beyond the bureaucratic obstacles, believed in me when I’d lost hope, and made my case her personal mission. With the utmost dedication and faith, she tailored a personal strategy just for me.
I’ll forever be grateful to Meytal and the entire Zari Hazan team. She and her team will forever hold a special place in my heart. They changed my life. עם ישראל חי

I approached the office of Zari Hazan due to a problem in getting a humanitarian Visa for her. We needed this visa quite rapidly in order to help a seriously disabled person. Needless to say, we could set e meeting upon a short notice and agree on all terms immediately.
The office did solve the issue very fast, was supportive and responsive throughout the process.
We received the humanitarian visa and we are most thankful to the office of Zari Hazan.
