Foreign Workers Lawyer

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.

Unique Challenges of Foreign Workers

The foreign worker population in Israel is one of the most vulnerable groups in the country. Many foreign workers face language barriers and difficulties understanding the authorities, often coming from poor and war-torn countries of origin, and are unaware of their rights. As a result, their basic rights may be violated, whether intentionally or due to lack of knowledge on the part of the employer and other players in the field. Improper conduct exposes the employer to serious sanctions, such as high monetary fines or even imprisonment.

Role of a Foreign Workers Lawyer

A foreign workers’ attorney specializes in all the rights of foreign workers during their stay in the country, including their financial entitlements within the framework of their work, the social rights granted to them while employed in the country by an Israeli employer, as well as the conditions and procedures related to their stay in the country.

An expert attorney for foreign workers is well-versed in all the changing laws and regulations regarding foreign workers in the country, as well as past legal precedents that play a central role in this field. They are in direct contact with government and state officials responsible for the stay of foreign workers in the country. The average foreign worker often struggles to cope with the various laws, regulations, and procedures of the Ministry of Interior, which often poses significant difficulties for them.

Representation of Foreign Workers' Employers

A foreign workers’ attorney provides professional legal advice to employers – corporations, companies, small businesses, and private individuals – regarding the employment of foreign workers in various fields. They specialize in employment laws for foreign workers from the employer’s perspective, providing professional legal advice to corporations, companies, small businesses, self-employed individuals, and private persons regarding the employment of foreign workers in nursing, food service, agriculture, construction, and more.

Despite the similarities in workers’ rights for foreign workers, there are unique characteristics to employing foreign workers that often require the assistance of a foreign workers’ attorney.

Foreign workers’ laws are complex and frequently changing, and foreign workers may often encounter legal and bureaucratic obstacles. Improper conduct exposes the employer to serious sanctions, such as high monetary fines or even imprisonment.

Work Permits and Legal Proceedings

A central area in which a foreign workers’ attorney assists is obtaining work permits for foreign workers, without which the employment of the worker becomes illegal. The office makes all necessary efforts to obtain work permits for foreign workers, which will practically be a B1 visa – a document provided by the Population and Immigration Authority, on behalf of the Ministry of Interior, after meeting predefined conditions. It’s important to note that the permit is not granted universally, but according to the professional qualifications of that worker, the current place of employment, and so on.

The bottom line is that without a work permit and other documents required in the process (for example, a valid employment permit according to the law), the employment will become clearly illegal. Therefore, it’s important to carry out the entire process with the help of a law office experienced in the field and under full guidance throughout the process.

Experience of Zari Hazan & Co. Law Office

Zari Hazan & Co., a foreign workers’ law firm, specializes in constitutional and administrative law and has extensive experience in filing petitions to the High Court of Justice as well as appeal requests to the Supreme Court on the subject of foreign workers’ stay in the country or foreign workers’ rights.

For example, we have often succeeded in allowing workers to remain in the country due to unique humanitarian circumstances, relationships with Israeli citizens, connections with nursing care patients, authority actions not in accordance with the law, or other reasons that justified granting a residence permit. These cases required significant legal support and full representation.

Clients Reviews

Months ago, I was lost in the labyrinth of the Ministry of Interior and I turned to Zari Hazan’s law firm after having started my Aliyah process. I had already faced countless obstacles, lost faith in the system, and felt completely defeated. But then I met my lawyer, Meytal and her team. She saw beyond the bureaucratic obstacles, believed in me when I’d lost hope, and made my case her personal mission. With the utmost dedication and faith, she tailored a personal strategy just for me.
I’ll forever be grateful to Meytal and the entire Zari Hazan team. She and her team will forever hold a special place in my heart. They changed my life. עם ישראל חי‏
