Immigration Law Update – Israel, November 10, 2022

Important Announcement by Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority

The Population and Immigration Authority has announced that issuing work visas will no longer be handled by the bureaus of the Ministry of Interior.

According to PIBA, all work permit and visa applications will be handled by a dedicated unit in Jerusalem in order to consolidate all work permits and visa in one unit.

The Population and Immigration Authority has been working the past few months on a new system to allow this transfer, and the new unit will start working within a few months.

At the moment, visas are still being issued at the Population and Immigration Authority’s bureaus throughout Israel. We will send out an update the moment there is a change.
