End of the Strike at the Israeli Consulate
|
|
The Israeli Consulates around the world have returned to operating normally, after a long partial strike. The immediate outcome is that the consulate will now issue work and visitor visas (for non-waivered nationals).
|
|
|
|
As a result, the Ministry of Interior will not continue to issue “Entry Permits” that replaced the need for obtaining an “Entry Visa” during the strike.
Reverting to the pre-strike process, a business visitor from a non-waivered country must process a pre-entry B-2 visitor visa at the Israeli consulate. A waiver from consular processing for B-1 work visas will remain optional, subject to the Ministry of Interior’s sole discretion.
Employers and employees should take into consideration longer processing times for visitor and employment visas at the various consulates.
