## Proof of the financial support/scholarship for the postdoctoral period.
## A travel document that is valid for at least one year, from the start date of the postdoctoral studies, electronic copy of the page with your personal details, and previous entry visas to Israel if you have any.
# Contact the closest embassy of Israel, ask for an appointment for [https://www.gov.il/en/service/student_visa_application_type visa A2Visa] and ask whether additional documents are needed. The embassy may indeed require for additional documents. e.g. residence permit (in case you are not living in your home country), hotel reservation (contract with the university dormitories, in case you will stay there), flight tickets, Ph.D. diploma, work reference letter, etc'.
# Pay the fee and attend the appointment. They will provide you with the information for the payment, the date and time of the appointment, and the list of documents that you must send in advance via e-mail (scanned). You will be asked to show the originals during the appointment.
Note: the visa is for one year starting the date of the appointment. It is therefor therefore advised to make the appointment as close as possible to your arrival to Israel.
