About work visas for Israel
The Israel Work Visa is an official visa that allows foreign nationals to work in Israel for a limited period. The visa is issued after an Israeli employer has applied for and received a work permit approved by the relevant Israeli authorities.
The most common category is the B/1 Work Visa, which is used for foreign workers in approved occupations and sectors. The work visa is linked to the employer who has sponsored the application and may only be used for the work that has been approved by the authorities.
Swedish citizens who plan to work in Israel need a work visa and work permit before starting employment. A tourist visa or visa-free entry does not entitle you to work in the country.
You will need the following documents to apply:
- Completed visa application
- Physical and valid passport
- Visa photo
- Work permit approved by Israeli authorities
- Employment contract or offer from the employer
- Documents proving education or professional competence if required
- Additional documents may be requested depending on the profession and employer
Israel can change visa rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.
