🇮🇱 Jobs in Israel for Nepali Workers
Israel remains a major caregiving and agriculture destination for Nepali workers, governed by bilateral agreement.
Working in Israel — what you need to know
Israel has a bilateral agreement with Nepal for the Caregiving and Agriculture sectors — making it one of the most regulated and protected migration routes available to Nepali workers. Israeli caregiving roles pay ILS 6,500–9,000/month (≈ NPR 200,000–280,000) with free accommodation and food provided, making actual savings among the highest of any destination. Agriculture workers in Moshavim (cooperative farms) in the Arava Desert, Negev and Golan Heights work structured seasonal and annual contracts with international worker-standard housing. Israel's demand for caregivers is structural — an ageing population requires 60,000+ foreign caregivers.

Caregivers in Israel on ILS 6,500/month with free accommodation and food save nearly the entire salary — approximately ILS 5,500–6,000/month (NPR 172,000–188,000). This is among the highest net savings rates for non-professional migrants globally.

Compare destinationsCommon questions about working in Israel
Is it safe for Nepali workers to go to Israel?+
Yes — provided you go through a DOFE-approved agency like Glocal Workforce Nepal. Your contract must be attested by both governments, your Labour Permit issued before departure, and you must attend the Pre-Departure Orientation. Avoid anyone offering free-visa or free-ticket deals without DOFE registration — these are the primary fraud vector.
What type of visa do Nepali workers need for Israel?+
The standard visa type is the B/1 Caregiver / Agriculture Visa. Your employer initiates the visa process by submitting a demand letter to the relevant authority in Israel. Glocal Workforce Nepal handles the embassy attestation and visa stamping after DOFE pre-approval.
How much does it cost to go to Israel from Nepal?+
Total deployment cost depends on the destination and role. All legitimate costs are within DOFE-approved limits: typically NPR 70,000–150,000 covering agency fee, medical examination, DOFE service charge, visa fee, and pre-departure orientation. Use our DOFE Fee Estimator for an itemised breakdown, or contact us directly for a quote.
