Registration & Initial Administrative Fee
GEL 300 — due within 48 hours of signing the contract. Non-refundable under any circumstances, including if the process is discontinued or the candidate withdraws.
Performance Guarantee Deposit
The GEL equivalent of USD 1,000 — must be paid within 2 banking days of signing the contract. Fully refunded within 10 banking days if you depart for work in Israel, or if a work invitation/permit/visa is not issued for reasons independent of you or WVG. If you unjustifiably refuse to depart after receiving a work invitation, the deposit is forfeited as a penalty.
Document Accuracy
All documents and information you submit must be genuine, complete, and valid. Submitting false documents or information is a material breach of contract.
Special Deposit (from the employer)
The employer deposits a special monthly amount in the employee's name; this money belongs to the employee and is paid out after legally leaving Israel. If the employee stays illegally after their visa expires, significant deductions are made from the deposit, and prolonged illegal stay can forfeit the entire amount.
Abandoning the Job — Deportation Risk
The employee may not abandon the job on their own initiative or move to another employer illegally. Working for another employer or private work is a breach of the labor contract and B/1 visa conditions, and grounds for deportation.
Workplace Safety
The employee must use protective equipment, follow safety instructions, and attend safety training. Alcohol or drug use at the workplace is strictly prohibited. Violence, drug use, theft, or breaking Israeli law can be grounds for deportation.
Right to Change Employer
The employee has the right to change employer through the legally established procedure. Before making any decision, always contact Work Visa Georgia so your visa conditions aren't violated.
Free professional skills testing — registration is open
From 27 to 31 July, WVG is holding free practical skills testing for rebar workers, formwork carpenters, tilers and painters. A maximum of 50 places is available per profession per day, and the total daily capacity may reach 100. Submitting an application does not guarantee admission; participation is finally confirmed by Work Visa Georgia.
פרטיםProcess Timeline
Recruitment typically takes up to 60 days from signing, provided documents are submitted fully and on time. For reasons outside your or WVG's control (employer, consular/immigration procedures, flights, force majeure), it may extend up to 90 days.
WVG's Role
WVG is a licensed intermediary providing administrative, coordination, and information support. Final decisions on the job, salary, schedule, and working conditions rest with the foreign employer and relevant government authorities.
Obligations After Arrival
Upon arrival in Israel you must report to the employer within the agreed timeframe and must not leave your job without cause for at least 6 months. Unjustified abandonment can result in forfeiture of your guarantee deposit.
If a Problem Arises
If you experience a work, housing, or safety issue in Israel, notify WVG immediately in writing — we will help coordinate communication and mediation with the employer.
