Travel Document in Lieu of National Passport
People who make aliyah (immigrate) to Israel are generally not eligible for an Israeli passport until they have resided in Israel for at least one year. From three months after aliyah until the residence requirement has been met, such new citizens may apply for aTeudat Ma'avar which is a travel document in lieu of national passport (Laissez-passer) and is normally valid for two years. Holders of this document may not enjoy the same visa-free access to certain other countries enjoyed by holders of a standard Israeli passport.

Famous quotes containing the words travel, document, national and/or passport:
“Have we even so much as discovered and settled the shores? Let a man travel on foot along the coast ... and tell me if it looks like a discovered and settled country, and not rather, for the most part, like a desolate island, and No-Man’s Land.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it, dull to the contempory who reads it, invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it!”
—Ellen Terry (1848–1928)
“National isolation breeds national neurosis.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“It is better to pay court to a queen ... than to worship, as we too often do, some unworthy person whose wealth is his sole passport into society. I believe that a habit of respect is good for the human race.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
