STEP 1 – Extensions Terms and Conditions

In order to receive your extension confirmation prior to your Birthright trip departure, requests must be received at least 7-10 business days prior to US departure (depending on airline) (note that this may be up to 2 weeks depending on weekends and holidays). 

Applying later than that date, may result in receiving your confirmation only after you arrive in Israel.

Submitting your request on time still does NOT guarantee your requested extension date will be available.
