Today’s Covid-19 Advisory update from the
Israeli Ministry of Health states that effective August 31, Spain and Georgia
will be taken off the list of Countries which Israel considers as being the
highest risk for coronavirus infection.
This decision enables Spanish and Georgian
nationals to travel to Israel either:
|
|
|
|
- for business purposes (requiring a special permit to enter Israel for business during COVID 19’ conditions and a ‘B-2 visitor’ visa) or
- for employment purposes (requiring a work permit and special permission for employees to enter Israel during COVID 19’ conditions).

Until
August 31, 2021, entry to Israel will remain
prohibited for foreign nationals who are coming from or, in the last 14 days
have stayed in, Brazil, Mexico,
Spain, Georgia, Turkey and Bulgaria.

Reverting to Consular Processing for B-1 Work Visa
Prior to the start of the Covid-19 Pandemic,
employees travelling to Israel for the first time were required to process
their initial B-1 work visa at an Israeli consulate in their home country.
However, as a consequence of the partial
closure of Israeli Consulates throughout the world during the Covid-19 Pandemic
period, the Ministry of Interior assumed responsibility for the issuance of first-time
entry permits to Israel.
The Ministry of Interior announced today that
it will be reverting to the pre-pandemic process. Employees travelling to
Israel for the first time will now need to process their entry permit and first
B-1 work visa at a Consulate in their home county.
