Ashkelon Streamlines Residency Permit Process for Eligible Residents

Updated Sep 6, 2026
Translated & summarized from Mignews by baba
The story · English

Ashkelon is launching a new system on Sunday, September 6, 2026, to expedite the processing of residency permits for eligible residents who face difficulties with the standard application method. The initiative specifically targets individuals living with parents or renting without being registered as municipal property tax (arnona) payers.

The new online platform allows residents to complete forms, upload necessary documents, and receive their permits via email after verification. Previously, these applications were handled by the tax authorities, but the Ashkelon Municipality will now process them directly to simplify and shorten procedures. Residents already registered as arnona payers can continue using the existing electronic services.

For those encountering issues with the new system, a hotline is available at *2660 during operating hours. Following the Tishrei holidays, the municipality plans to further enhance accessibility with a dedicated bus service that will travel to various city centers.
