Given the current consular employees strike, one cannot extend one's passport at Israeli consulates. Doing so in Israel apparently takes 6 weeks. Given the exception circumstances, is it possible to arrive to Israel, submit a passport application and then leave the country on one's current passport?
The question is for a relative who does not possess a second passport and needs a valid Israeli one urgently for bureaucratic reasons in a different country.
No. What you can do, is apply for a temporary passport together with your application for a permanent passport. The temporary passport is ready in 2 days. In order to be eligible for one, you must show a flight ticket booked in your name that leaves in less than 6 weeks.
If 2 days is too much for you to wait, you can get a temporary passport on the spot at Ben Gurion Airport. There it costs more and you need a plane ticket in your name for the next 48 hours.
