Jurisdictional changes made at Israeli consulates in India Share this article LinkedIn Facebook X (Twitter) September 29, 2017 IMPACT – MEDIUM Israeli consulates in India have made jurisdictional changes. Effective immediately, applicants for Israeli visas should consult the chart below to determine which consulate they should use. Embassy or Consulate/Visa Type Areas Within Jurisdiction Embassy of Israel-Delhi – All categories Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Sikkim, Telangana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal. Consulate General of Israel-Mumbai – All categories Goa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra. Consulate General of Israel-Mumbai – B1 Employment Visas only Chennai, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu Consulate General of Israel-Bangalore – B/2 Business conference, Meetings, B/2 Tourism, A/2 Student visa, A/4 Dependent visas. Chennai, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu BAL Analysis: Visa applicants should take note of the changes and, when necessary, leave more time to travel to the appropriate consulate to apply for visas. Applicants with passports issued from Chennai, Karnataka, Kerala or Tamil Nadu, for example, will be able to use the Bangalore consulate for most visa types, but will have to travel to Mumbai for B1 Employment visas. BAL continues to seek information on whether Israeli consulates will make additional changes to their application processes, including whether any documentation changes will be implemented along with the jurisdictional changes.
