Israeli Army Problems

[Mr. CC]

I emailed them today asking. Since renouncement requires approval by the minister of interior, I presume that the political turmoil since the last elections were announced put such requests far on the back-burner. Now that a government was formed, I am hoping to see movement.

Thanks
Keep us posted

New budget passed last week cancels the tourist VAT exemption for car rentals and hotel stays. Given the recent differences in the immigration lines at TLV of citizens vs non-citizens, maybe it's time to reconsider rescinding the citizenship.

The ridiculous thing is, as I pointed out to them, that they are requiring a written (notarized by the consul) statement from MINORS on whom they involuntarily forced an unwanted citizenship, and they didn't require written consent, much less notarized, at that point!

Since when does one take written statements from minors?

Asking questions on a government agency?

When my son was born in Eretz Yisroel I went down to the Misrad Hapnim to renounce his citizenship. After that was done I asked for a letter on Misrad Hapnim letterhead stating that he is not a citizen. They told me I don't need it. I asked them to please give me one anyway. The guy said "ok, for 60 shekel." I paid and got the letter. A couple of months later when we were leaving in the airport they asked me why he doesn't have an Israeli passport if he was born there. I took out the letter that I was told was not needed and we were able to proceed.

Yup, I also paid. Letter is filed away along with my son's birth certificate. Although pretty sure I had to pay 75NIS. And that was 17 years ago!

Renouncement back in play. 

יבואא בהמוניהם? בוטלה ההחלטה לבטל את הפטור ממעמ לתיירים. הרעיון של האוצר שתיירים - שממילא לא באים לפה בכמויות - ישלמו מעמ על שירותי תיירות ירדה מחוק ההסדרים. שר התיירות חיים כץ זוקף לעצמו הצלחה pic.twitter.com/OLTwclA6dS
