What is the change? Israel has clarified how the validity periods of the 45-day and 90-day work visas are calculated.
What does the change mean? For the 45-day work visa, all visits to Israel made during the same calendar year (including non-business visits) will be counted against the 45-day limit. Those who do not want visits to count against the 45-day calculation should request that they be treated as non-work-related when they apply for their visa. For the 90-day work visa, the validity period begins to run from the date of the work permit approval, not from the date of arrival in Israel.
Background: The 45-day work visas are commonly used for short-term assignments but are limited to 45 days per calendar year. The 90-day work visas are available to visa-waivered nationals only.
Analysis & Comments: Companies should factor in the calculations when assigning foreign nationals to Israel on short assignments, as the resulting validity periods may be shorter than the full 45 or 90 days.
