How To Get Israeli Work Visa?

Do you want to be a caregiver in Israel?  Are you close to being an immigrant to Israel, and need help finding a job?  Some of you are asking me about how to get a work visa in Israel. If and when you arrive to Israel to be a caretaker, you will be issued a B/1 Work visa.  The following is taken from the Israel government website which explains how it works –  (https://mfa.gov.il/MFA/ConsularServices/Pages/Visas.aspx).

This visa is for a person whose stay in Israel is approved for a limited period of time for the purpose of work.  This visa is given to experts and artists, among others, and is granted solely with the approval of the Ministry of the Interior. The fee is paid by the applicant when the application is submitted to one of the population administration offices of the Ministry of the Interior.

Upon receipt of approval from the Ministry of the Interior, the mission will issue the B/1 Work visa after interviewing the applicant and obtaining from him the following documents:

  • Firstly, a verified certificate of good conduct
  • Secondly, certification of medical examinations performed in clinics or hospitals recognized by the mission and the results of blood tests.
  • Thirdly, a declaration of the taking of a fingerprint and a photograph.
  • Fourthly, a completed application for a visa (click here to download the Application for a Visa to Enter Israel)
  • Fifthly, Two passport pictures (5×5 cm)

The worker must enter Israel within the period of time specified in the visa and stay in the country as specified in the visa. A person who receives such a visa may apply to one of the population administration offices of the Ministry of the Interior to extend the visa.

About Claude Lee Massey, Life Coach and Career Counselor for English Speakers in Israel

I still remember the day I arrived in Israel, I had NO money – NO friends – and NO job.

It took me several years of living in Israel before I found a decent-paying job at a tech company. I was working for this company, and was promoted to a leadership position when I had a powerful self-realization:

The purpose of my life, is helping other people get what they want from life. 

I looked back into my past and understood that I was always asked to be a leader + trainer + teacher… and I absolutely loved doing it!

Therefore, with my 15+ years of experience in the field of sales and customer service I decided to open a sales training company.

I never thought that I would open my own business in Israel… but I did!

I decided to name my sales training company Sales Development Israel.  Then, I began to use all of my spare time before work and after work creating training materials, and trying to acquire clients.

In addition, I was sending emails and cold calling companies in Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Ramat Gan, Jerusalem, Bat Yam, and Holon.  Basically, I was reaching our across the whole country of Israel in my efforts.

Great news is that I was able to find my first few clients! 

Something I immediately noticed was at the conclusion of my sales training workshops, two things would happen consistently happen: 

Firstly, I would receive feedback that my sales training workshops were providing massive value for the sales team. Secondly, one or two of the students in the courses would privately approach me.

These students would speak with me about their struggles not only in sales, but also in their lives.

Then one time, a female student offered to pay me for a one-on-one session outside of the office.

She asked me to help her learn how to communicate more effectively, and to help her figure out a better career path.

Another student, approached me and offered to pay me for my time to help prepare him for a job interview.

We developed a plan, strategized, and executed. 

Similarly, another student from another workshop, at another company, asked me to help them build their inner-confidence.

And this would happen again and again and again…

Each of these wonderful people I began to work one-on-one with,  had their own unique challenge, and asked me for help.  Each time we developed a plan, strategized, and executed. 

They knew that I was not professionally trained, and still they would offer to pay me for my time.  These first clients would call me their “Life Coach” or “Career Counselor“, and I am proud to say that I was able to help them.

At the conclusion of our one-on-one sessions, they each had taken took massive steps forward towards the results they wanted!

Eventually, enough people paid me to sit down with them, and then called me their Career Counselor or Life Coach that I began to call myself a “Career Counselor” and ”Life Coach”.

Most people set out to become a trained and certified life coach (קואצ’ר , אימון אישי) or career counselor before ever having a client. 

I never once said to myself that I wanted to be a life coach (אימון אישי לחיים) or a career counselor. This interesting and fulfilling profession came to me… literally.

So that is the short story of how I began life coaching (תל אביב קואצ’ינג לחיים) and career counseling in Tel Aviv Israel.

Moreover, after all these years I’m happy to say I have helped hundreds and hundreds of people just like you!
