Your application has been approved

• The forms you submitted are being examined by the KPC office.

• After finding that all the forms are in order, we can proceed to the next step; an interview with the volunteer coordinator at the kibbutz and a representative from the KPC office. We make efforts to find the right kibbutz for you, but we are not always able to place you in the kibbutz you are most interested being in (it depends on whether there is a vacancy in the kibbutz etc.). That is why it is important to receive from you a list of preferences of kibbutzim in descending order - please note that here you can see the list of kibbutzim that take part in the program. 

  Please note - We are unable to conduct an interview for you with each & every kibbutz in the program, please understand this

• After the interview step, we will move to the next step - the visa application at the Ministry of the Interior - under the responsibility of the KPC office - this usually takes about a week + -  This will be done about 4 weeks before your planned date of arrival to Israel.

• Upon approval of the visa from the Ministry of the Interior, an email will be sent to you with all the details on how to obtain the visa at the Israeli Embassy/Consulate according to your request. (Know that you will have to physically attend the embassy)   Also, you will be sent a request to pay the participation fee of NIS 1700 - the payment will be made through a PayPal link that will be attached to the email.    According to the rules of the Israeli Interior office, you can not enter Israel before you received the entrance visa stamp in the Israeli consulate.
