Can i move to Israel? Please!

13 years ago

hi there,
my name is Clare. I am a Physiotherapist from England and am interested in moving to Israel. I have an israeli boyfriend who needs to stay there to study. After a hard year of seeing eachother for a week here and there with months apart in between, we want to commit to a life in the same country!

As i am not jewish, i believe there is a possibility i could work in Israel but when i contacted the israeli embassy in london i was told id need a promise of a job there first before i could apply for the permit. This will prove hard as i am living in england currently.....How long is the visa application process for someone who is not Jewish?
I also do not speak much hebrew but of course would want to learn as much as is possible!

Does anyone share my situation or have any information on processes for even being considered for a job when i am not in the country (and dont speak the native language)?
I am highly skilled and willing to try whatever job to make myself useful and have a chance of establishing a life in Israel.

Any help would be so greatly appreciated, we really do not want to have to end our relationship

Thanks for your time
