Applying and Obtaining an Israeli Work Permi for a 1 year process is a process we have split into four steps
1. Work Permit Unit – Collection of documents and submission of the application to the Work Permit Unit.
The work permit unit will process the application in 1-3 months and if approved, will issue a work permit
2. Invitation to Israel – Submit the application to invite the employee to Israel at the Ministry of Interior (MOI)
MOI will issue an invitation for the employee and send it to the Israeli consulate in the employee’s country.
3. Interview at the Consulate – The employee will need to attend an interview at the Israeli embassy in his country. The employee will receive the visa in his passport at the interview. Sometimes the visa is only for 30 days and will need to be extended when entering Israel
The employee must enter Israel within 30 days
4. Employee Enters Israel – After the employee enters Israel his visa will need to be extended at the MOI (in some cases) and will need to request a Multi-Entry Visa
