The standard employer-sponsored work visa for foreign nationals on temporary employment. Requires employer sponsorship and PIBA approval before entry. Valid for up to 1 year, renewable.

Upon arrival, register with the Ministry of Interior within the required timeframe.
Israel has established government-to-government agreements with several countries to facilitate the recruitment of skilled workers in construction, agriculture, and caregiving.
India and Israel have a bilateral agreement for the recruitment of skilled construction workers (carpenters, iron benders, tile/plastering workers). The process is managed through state-level labour departments (e.g., Rojgaar Sangam in Uttar Pradesh) and involves skills testing, medical checks, and a lottery selection system. The process is free of cost for candidates.
Israel also has G2G agreements with the Philippines for caregiver and nursing staff, and with several other countries for agricultural and factory workers. These programs ensure legal, safe, and transparent recruitment, with pre-departure orientation and post-arrival support.
Israel offers dedicated visa pathways for caregivers, home health aides, and other specialized roles through bilateral agreements and approved agencies.
