Israel Visa
CARE ASSISTANT job in Israel
This job typically involves live-in caregiving (home care) for elderly or disabled individuals in Israel. Foreign workers are allowed under defined visa/work permit categories.
Key Requirements
You must be eligible for a permit to work as a caregiver in Israel. Foreign workers in the nursing/caregiving sector are regulated under the Israeli labour & immigration laws.
Passport valid for at least 3 years (in many cases).
Clean criminal record/certificate (clearance).
Medical test/fitness (as required) and sometimes training certificate.
Some sources list minimum height/weight for certain job offers: for example 1.5 m height and weight minimum 45 kg.
For married applicants or applicants with family, additional document rules apply in some regimes.
Process / Steps for Candidate
Candidate should prepare documents: passport, photos, criminal clearance, medical fitness certificate, training certificate (if required), etc.
The recruiting agency in Israel obtains employer’s permit and relevant approvals (e.g., from the Population and Immigration Authority).
Candidate signs employment contract, obtains visa/work permit and then travels for deployment.
Candidate may require orientation/training (language, caregiving skills) before or after arrival.
Important Notes / Risks for Candidates
Make sure the placement agency is licensed and processes are legitimate. Unauthorised recruitment is risky.
Understand live-in conditions: being present in employer’s home means 24-hour presence and adjusting to host family routine.
Verify salary, working hours, leave, accommodation and other terms before signing.
Be aware of the legal rights: Israel has labour laws (hours of work, leave) that apply to foreign workers.
Married couples sometimes are not allowed to work together in some caregiving visa schemes (depending on country of origin).

Israel Tourist Visa (B2) — Key Details
1. Purpose & Use
This visa is meant for tourism, visiting friends/family, pilgrimages, cultural visits. It is not for employment in Israel.
2. Eligibility & Validity
Indian passport holders can apply for the tourist visa to Israel.
The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of travel.
The visa when issued typically allows a stay of up to 3 months for tourist purpose.
Processing time: For Indian applicants via Visa Application Centres: around 10-12 working days in major cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore) under normal cases.
4. Application Process
Submit through authorised Visa Application Centres (for India: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore) under jurisdiction.
After submission, the visa decision is made by the Embassy of Israel (or relevant consular authority).
- Once visa is granted, plan your travel accordingly.
5. Notes / Important Points
Even if all documents are submitted, granting of visa is not guaranteed — it is at the discretion of the Embassy/Consulate.
The tourist visa is non-extendable or non-convertible in many cases — you must ensure travel fits within stay period.
For families applying (parents + children) the process is similar but make sure you include relationship proof, minor’s documents etc.
If your client’s aim is a business trip (meetings, conference) rather than pure tourism, there is a different visa stream (B2 business) which may require invitation letter etc.
