Tour Company Visa in Israel
This article addresses obtaining a tour company visa in Israel for a foreign expert worker. Specifically, this article goes over some aspects of this B1 expert work visa for a worker who is necessary to help a tour company grow. We discuss some of the opportunities and challenges here.
Seeking a Tour Company Visa in Israel
Over the years quite a few tour agencies have approached us seeking to establish a company in Israel to better arrange for trips from their home country (the US, S. Korea, China, and more). They often want to bring in a foreign expert worker, someone they trust and who is familiar with their clients and how they operate. Generally, this person is not a tour guide, but instead a tour leader or a manager who knows the company’s context well. This tour leader often meets the tour groups in Israel, and together with a local Israeli tour guide, accompanies the group on their trip. This foreign expert worker is important, as they know the language and needs of the company, the market abroad, the culture of the company and their visitors and more, therefore they are best equipped to help the company grow.
Beyond the general procedure to apply for a B1 visa and expedite the process, which we discuss at length in other articles, there are some aspects of the process that are unique to tour companies. Aside from the two phases, submitting documents to the Department of Expert Workers then seeking a work visa from the Ministry of Interior, it is important to note that the Ministry of Interior requires that tour companies obtain approval from the Ministry of Tourism.
Recent Changes in the Process
While it has always been challenging to obtain approval from the Ministry of Tourism, it has been possible. However, it has become increasingly more challenging to obtain this letter of approval. It is essential to work closely with lawyers with a history of working in this process to increase your chances for success.
