I have been declared bankrupt. Can I still travel outside of Israel?

Not as a non-bankrupt person can do, as he/she pleases. A person who has been declared bankrupt must apply and get permission for the order preventing him/her from  leaving Israel to be lifted. In order to get the order lifted temporarily, for a limited time, and specified period, he/she must apply for permission,giving reasons and grounds. The application is likely to be passed to the Official  Property Receiver. Meanwhile, the applicant should seek the consent of his Trustee in Bankruptcy, and try and find a few guarantors. Without the consent of the Official Property Receiver and/or the Trustee in Bankruptcy, the bankrupt individual will have to persuade the court to allow him/her to leave Israel for a set period.
