Alongside the experts and professionals already in Israel, there is sometimes a need to bring foreign experts from other countries. Naturally, employing a foreign worker in Israel requires obtaining all the necessary legal approvals. Among these is an accountant\u2019s certification regarding the activities of the company requesting the employment permit<\/a>. In this article, Attorney Michael Decker from our firm explains the value of accountant certification in work permit applications and how the process works.<\/p>\n

Foreign workers in Israe; are often associated with manual labor requiring long hours and physical effort, such as caregiving\u2014where a caregiver resides with the patient 24\/7\u2014or the construction industry, which involves physical work. However, this is not always the case. Israeli companies sometimes seek work permits for foreign experts who bring unique expertise, years of academic training, and extensive experience in a specific field.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s interconnected global world, the boundaries between countries\u2014once clear and definitive\u2014are no longer barriers if we wish to a find a future in a different land. Just as many Israelis relocate abroad for work, professionals and academics from other countries often wish to spend several years in Israel to learn, work, and contribute to Israeli society in various fields. This includes tech and cybersecurity experts<\/a>, senior industry figures, academics, researchers, lecturers, medical professionals, diamond specialists<\/a>, artists, and even foreign journalists and photographers.<\/p>\n

Just as Israelis relocating abroad require work permits in their destination countries, foreign experts seeking to work in Israel<\/a> must obtain a work permit, and their employers must secure an employment permit. Among the required documents is an accountant\u2019s certification that the company requesting the employment permit is an active entity without a going concern<\/em> warning\u2014meaning no doubts about the company’s ability to continue its operations for at least one calendar year.\"Accountant<\/p>\n

What Is Required of the Foreign Expert?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Foreign Workers Law<\/strong><\/a> applies to any worker arriving from another country who seek paid work in Israel. Regardless of their education or expertise, foreign experts must present documentation of their qualifications to the relevant authorities in Israel. It is highly recommended to engage an immigration attorney familiar with the law in all its nuances. Such professionals can provide essential assistance in obtaining all necessary permits and enabling the foreign expert to secure the appropriate work visa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The foreign expert must obtain a B\/1 visa<\/strong><\/a>. This is a temporary work visa granted to foreign workers employed in fields experiencing a labor shortage or requiring specific expertise and knowledge. Similarly, the employer is required to navigate bureaucratic procedures to apply for an employment permit for the foreign expert.<\/p>\n

Among the essential requirements for the employer is obtaining an accountant\u2019s certification<\/strong>, confirming that the company seeking the employment permit is operational and does not have a going concern<\/em> warning. This indicates the company’s ability to operate without financial concerns for at least one year.<\/p>\n
