Israel work visa documents — quick answers
How long is the PCC valid for a Israel work visa?
Employers usually accept a Police Clearance Certificate for 6 months from the date of issue. Time it after your demand is confirmed, not before — an early PCC is an expired PCC by the time the file reaches the embassy.
Do I need a skill test for an Israel work visa?
Yes — construction trades face a practical trade test before selection, and CNC or drill-rig roles are selected by documented machine experience plus CV. The B/1 visa itself is sponsored by the Israeli employer under the India–Israel bilateral framework.
What if my passport has an ECR stamp?
Emigration clearance for ECR-stamp passports is processed legally through eMigrate before you fly. It is part of the documented process — never an extra you arrange in the airport queue.
