Work visa services
Work visas in Israel for employers and foreign workers
The goal is to avoid delays and unclear requirements. Work visas in Israel are a sensitive, multi-party process that requires coordination between employer, worker, and authorities. We help structure a consistent file and set realistic expectations.
Our Ashdod office supports clients across Israel with Population and Immigration Authority (Israel's official visa and citizenship office) insight, document alignment, and clear steps before filing.
Who this is for
Employers in Ashdod, Israel who need to hire lawfully, and foreign workers who want to understand requirements before entry or renewal.
TL;DR
- Aligned employer/worker documents reduce back-and-forth.
- Many cases rely on a B1 work visa with defined requirements.
- Early review reduces supplementation requests.
- Your first Zoom call ends with a document check and clear next steps.

When a Zoom consult is helpful
If you are unsure about the correct track, missing documents, or how to describe the situation consistently, a short call can clarify the basics. We don't promise outcomes; we focus on clarity and steady preparation.
We work with clients in Israel and abroad, and we keep the language plain. The goal is a coherent, respectful file—not a rushed one.
When roles are specialized, a short explanation of why the role is needed can help reviewers understand the context. Keep it factual and tied to documents. This can be especially useful when the role description is technical or unfamiliar. The goal is to make the file easy to read, not to persuade with volume.
