B. To permanent residents of Israel, even if they are not Israeli citizens. Regarding volunteering to the IDF

I am an Israeli born abroad. Do I have to serve in the IDF? “I am an Israeli who was born abroad. I have lived abroad all my life. Am I obliged to compulsory military service in the IDF?”
Individuals intended for military service born abroad and “sons of immigrants” whose permanent place of residence is outside Israel, are not obliged to military service as long as they reside abroad with their parents.

Notwithstanding, they must come to the nearest Israeli mission to register and to receive a deferral to report for defense service. Please refer to the section on Establishing Military Service Status on the website.
