What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?

Permanent Israeli residents (or applicants who have been naturalized abroad) who want to exit and return, or who are abroad and want to enter Israel, apply for an entry visa in person at the local Population and Immigration office or the nearest Israeli mission, with their ID card and appendix and a foreign passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the requested visa's expiration date (or an Israeli laissez passer); fee NIS 100. The entry visa is valid for three years. The official source does not state how permanent residence is retained or lost.
