ISRAEL
Visas for Israel: the B1 residence permit for 1 year
What you should know
The Ministry of the Interior issued in 2015 a procedure for foreign specialists working in a field that, on the one hand, requires experience, but on the other does not require an academic education and qualification (for example, a welder, a mechanical installer, an installer equipment) and any other job that does not require an education certificate as a prerequisite for an academic institution of higher education). The process for obtaining a B-1 work permit includes four separate bureaucratic steps: You begin by submitting a detailed application for a work permit to the Ministry of the Interior. It will be necessary to describe the project, the need for experience, the conditions of employment and more. The application must comply with the regulations and meet the strict requirements of the Ministry of the Interior, and include, among other things, the approval of an Israeli lawyer confirming the compatibility of the employment contract with Israeli law. Once permission is granted, a B-1 work visa must be applied for at the local branch of the Ministry of the Interior to be wired for processing to the Israeli consulate in the expert’s home country. It follows the issuance of the B-1 temporary work visa by the Israeli consulate in the country of origin of the expert, before entering Israel. Finally, after the applicant’s entry into Israel, they will be issued a B-1 work visa for the entire period of the work permit. This step will take place at the time the expert passes through border control at Ben Gurion Airport, or after entry, at the relevant branch of the Ministry of Interior. The minimum salary of the expert has to be twice the national average salary in Israel. The Ministry of the Interior can issue a conditional approval, whereby the employer must force the employee to open a local Israeli bank account for the transfer of their salaries and/or deposit a large amount of money to guarantee the individual’s departure from Israel. This type of work permit is valid for a period of up to one year from the date of application approval. The employer can file a request to extend the leave for only one additional year. The work visa of this type is valid for a single entry. Once in Israel, it will be necessary to process a multiple entry visa that will allow the expert to leave and enter the country while the work permit lasts.
