WORK VISA ‘B1’ – FOR FOREIGN EXPERTS
Foreign experts, employees of foreign companies, may, at the invitation of an Israeli company, carry out specialised work within Israel, subject to obtaining a work permit and B1 visa.
A non-Israeli citizen, in order to perform specialised work in Israel legally, must obtain a work permit and a work visa. According to current regulations, this is possible if the knowledge and professional experience of the employee-expert are necessary to carry out the project covered by the contract. Currently, there are three types of visas that are issued to worker-experts:
- short-term visa, which is valid for up to 45 days;
- a visa valid for up to 90 days;
- a long-term visa.
There is a separate procedure and different requirements for each visa.
Our office provides a comprehensive service for obtaining visas for foreign expert workers.
