If you seek to obtain an Israeli work visa for a foreign athlete or coach (for a soccer, American football or basketball team, among others), then our law firm can help you. \u00a0A work visa for a foreign athlete or foreign coach would usually be considered a foreign expert work visa, which is dealt with by an Israel immigration lawyer.\u00a0 Companies that apply for a foreign athlete or coach are usually NGOs, since most teams in Israel are some sort of nonprofit organization (agudat sport<\/em>).\u00a0 We are accustomed to helping clients from big and small companies and institutions obtain foreign expert work visas for their workers. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Israeli<\/p>\n

Obtaining an Israeli Work Visa for a Foreign Athlete or Coach<\/b><\/h4>\n

Israel limits the number of foreign expert work visas it issues every year in order to ensure that most jobs in Israel remain available for Israelis, thus there are limitations on the number of foreign athletes each team can have (depending on the type of sport).\u00a0 Two of the biggest sports in Israel are football (what US citizens call soccer) and basketball, but American football is gaining interest in Israel as well.\u00a0 The Israeli government is willing to make exceptions for athletes or coaches for soccer, football and basketball teams in Israel.\u00a0 This is particularly the case if the foreign expert athlete or coach has a special skill which will strengthen the Israeli team and perhaps create more jobs or generate more financial interest in the sport.\u00a0 If this is the situation, the NGO or company can make the case that they need the foreign expert worker. \u00a0It is important to note that any foreign expert worker, whether a foreign athlete or coach in basketball, soccer, or American football, must be paid <\/span>double <\/span><\/i>the average salary of an Israeli worker. \u00a0Additionally, the organization needs the Ministry of Interior to approve that the foreign athlete or foreign coach is really needed. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to apply for this visa, which is a B\/1 visa, for a foreign athlete or coach who are experts in soccer, American football or basketball, the foreign athlete or coach must not be in Israel. \u00a0The company applying on their behalf must do so when the individual is not in the country, and if and when the visa is approved, the foreign athlete or coach must pick up the visa at an Israeli consulate abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n

We provide a long list of conditions and documents needed for this procedure in our article on <\/span>B\/1 work visas<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
