WORK PERMIT IN ISRAEL
General
Working visa may be obtained either when you are still in your home country, or already in Israel with a tourist visa. It is forbidden to work in Israel without a working visa.
Your designated employer (including employment agencies) needs to obtain a valid work permit for you, certified by the Ministry of the Interior. Your passport will be stamped with a working visa carrying the name of your employer.
The working visa will be limited to the period set out in your employment permit and must be extended after a year, even if the permit is for a longer period. The Ministry of the Interior alone has the authority to issue and extend visas.
Note that your working visa will be valid only for one specific trade, and that it is illegal for you to work in another trade.
Recruitment by employment agencies
You may be recruited through employment agencies, both in Israel and in your native country.
If recruited in your native country - you may be required to pay a recruitment fee, which must not exceed the total sum of NIS 3,050 (covering overall payments to agencies both abroad and in Israel), plus travel expenses.
If you are already in Israel – it is forbidden to charge you any recruitment fee.
If you have been required to pay undue or extra recruitment fees, you can file a complaint with the Supervisor in Charge of Registration of Manpower Companies:
Tel: 03-5613461, Fax: 03-5613428.
Construction workers
As of May 2005, construction workers are only employed in Israel through employment agencies (LMC’s, “Licensed Manpower Companies”). The LMC is your employer in Israel, and it assigns you to work with various building contractors. |
