Employment of 3rd Party Employees and
Freelancers in Israel
|
|
While
freelance and employment of 3rd party employees becomes a world phenomenon,
especially in the Gas and Oil, Hi-Tech, and Project management industries, Israeli
work visa regulations were not yet adapted for this change.
Under current Israeli regulations, there is no option for companies to sponsor applications for 3rd party employees or freelancers that are expected to work in Israel.

Kan-Tor
& Acco is currently leading an industry campaign at the Ministry of
Interior to resolve the issue.
Following several meetings by KTA Partners
with Senior officials at the Ministry, we found the Ministry officials
supportive as always, understanding the industry needs and the world
trends. As a result, the Ministry is currently
examining options to regulate the matter.
KTA will continue to lead the industry
efforts, and be the first to advise of any change.
