2. Instructions for answering questions :
e. Year of immigration
The data on year of immigration allows us to analyze the absorption of immigrants from different countries and to describe their situation, based on the immigration wave in which they came to Israel.
Question 3.130 - In what year did you immigrate to Israel?
- People who have an ID card and were not born in Israel will be asked about their year of immigration to Israel. Persons missing an ID card will be asked about their year of entering Israel.
- If children were born abroad to Israeli parents and they now live in Israel, type the year of entry into Israel.
- If persons missing an ID card entered Israel more than once (for example, foreign workers), type the year of their last entry into Israel.
- If a person decided to immigrate to Israel after staying in the country under a different status (tourist or temporary resident) type their date of immigration- i.e. the date when they officially received an immigrant status. For example: if a student came for a year of studies in a university, and then decided to change his status to that of an immigrant, type the date when he received his immigrant status.
- If a person immigrated (or entered) Israel in 2008, ask about the month (and day) of immigration in order to clarify whether he immigrated to Israel before or after the determining date.
