Foreign workers

Our office is a leader in the field of foreign workers' law in Israel. We specialize in providing legal assistance and consultation for obtaining and extending residence visas for foreign workers in various fields such as nursing, agriculture, construction, food preparation, cleaning, and more.

Our firm advises employers on all aspects of foreign worker employment, rights, and various payments due to the worker according to Israeli labor laws, and even represents employers in cases of non-compliance with these conditions.

One of the most common administrative offenses is employing a foreign worker who does not have a valid legal work visa. Since January 2012, there has been a fundamental change in the policy of the Population and Immigration Authority of the Ministry of Interior. Since then, the state has begun to take criminal proceedings against employers who allegedly committed the offense of employing a foreign worker without a permit.
