Holy Moses! More signs your Israel tourist visa has expired…

Continuing on with this popular series of little things some of us have gotten used to over time, here are yet another 10 signs you might have forgotten to visit the Israeli Ministry of Interior in quite a while…and if you’re looking for practical info on getting an Israeli visa you should take a look over here

This series is for those of us who have maybe stayed a bit longer than anticipated (I’ve just hit 19 years!), and hopefully will give you an insight into daily life in Israel and to what we’ve gotten used to over time…

Here they are, another 10 signs you haven’t extended your Israel tourist visa recently…

  1. …it’s 30 degrees outside but it’s September, so you refuse to go to the beach.
  2. …you buy a thick winter coat on October 1st.
  3. …you wear your new winter coat on October 2nd.
  4. …you buy a car and leave the plastic wrapping on your new car’s seats.
  5. …knives and forks feel, well, strange.
  6. …you no longer laugh at the angles of scaffolding on buildings.
  7. …you wear body hugging t-shirts to show off your love handles.
  8. …you know enough Hebrew to make Israelis laugh their socks off.
  9. …you’ve killed at least 100 cockroaches with your favorite ‘killing’ shoe.
  10. …you look at the local women/men and start fantasizing about Scandinavian women/men.

About the Author: Ashley intended staying in Israel for a couple of months...18 years later, married to a local girl with 2 (er, make that 3!) littluns, he decided to set up igoogledisrael.com. What's kept this ex-Brit, non-Jewish guy in the Holy Land for so long? Well, read around this site some more and you might just get an idea...

  1. Speaking of needing to renew one’s tourist visa, can you tell me where the office of the Ministry of the Interior in Tel Aviv is (assuming I am correct that that is where to go)?

  2. Sarah, if you’re based in Tel Aviv, head over to 125 Menachem Begin Street, which is on the opposite corner of the big Azrieli Towers (telephone 03-5193305).

  3. Thanks!
