New immigrants to Israel will receive a faster, more efficient, and more convenient absorption process with the opening of a permanent VIP route at Ben Gurion Airport, the Aliyah and Absorption Ministry says.
A new absorption complex in Terminal 3 will allow new immigrants to receive all rights and documents in one place upon arrival, including their immigrant certificate, initial ID card, health insurance, financial benefits, and more.
The new facility was inaugurated Tuesday night with the arrival of 49 new immigrants from France and the former Soviet Union.
Approximately 32,000 new immigrants came to Israel in 2024, and more than 4,000 have arrived since the beginning of 2025, the ministry says.
