Their authority is subject to Israeli immigration laws and regulations. The immigration officer at the border crossing will hand the foreign citizen whose entrance to Israel has been denied an official refusal of entry to Israel decision. This decision concerning refusal of entry to Israel is given according to the 1952 Entry into Israel Law.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Who Might Be Refused Entry into Israel?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">A foreign citizen requesting to enter Israel on any type of visa may be refused entry to Israel. The refusal of entrance to Israel is based on the impression of the border control officer but subject to Israeli administrative law. It must be noted that citizens of a country that must apply for a visa in advance to visit Israel, who have already received the visa in their passports, may also be refused entrance. Also, a citizen of a county that is eligible to receive an entry visa to Israel at the border is in danger of being denied entry to Israel.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The reasons for\u00a0denial of entry to Israel vary from case to case, but most of the time it has to do with being a security threat or prevention of entry due to illegal immigration considerations. Also, a person who gives the impression that he or she may be a problem in terms of public safety, a hazard to public order, or a danger to public health will not\u00a0be allowed to enter Israel. If the immigration officers at the border suspect a person has come to Israel in order to work illegally without a work visa, they will be refused entry to Israel.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3acbsjkFc0k\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Receiving a Decision Denying Entry into Israel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1691 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/\u05de\u05e9\u05e8\u05d3-\u05d4\u05e4\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd-\u05e0\u05de\u05dc-\u05ea\u05e2\u05d5\u05e4\u05d4-\u05d1\u05df-\u05d2\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9\u05d5\u05df-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"Refusal of entry to Israel\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/\u05de\u05e9\u05e8\u05d3-\u05d4\u05e4\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd-\u05e0\u05de\u05dc-\u05ea\u05e2\u05d5\u05e4\u05d4-\u05d1\u05df-\u05d2\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9\u05d5\u05df-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/\u05de\u05e9\u05e8\u05d3-\u05d4\u05e4\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd-\u05e0\u05de\u05dc-\u05ea\u05e2\u05d5\u05e4\u05d4-\u05d1\u05df-\u05d2\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9\u05d5\u05df-1024x823.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/\u05de\u05e9\u05e8\u05d3-\u05d4\u05e4\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd-\u05e0\u05de\u05dc-\u05ea\u05e2\u05d5\u05e4\u05d4-\u05d1\u05df-\u05d2\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9\u05d5\u05df.jpg 1860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The person who has been denied entry to Israel will receive a written explanation from the Israeli immigration officer working for the border control administration under the authority of the Ministry of Interior.

This detention center located near the airport is where those persons who have been denied entry are held until they can be flown out of Israel.
