I would think that you need a work visa for that, but to make sure you should contact the nearest Israeli Embassy or Consulate and ask the your question.

Earning money whilst learning Hebrew in an Ulpan in Israel/ work visa

Earning money whilst learning Hebrew in an Ulpan in Israel/ work visa?
I've looked into Kibbutz Ulpans, I'm now looking into Ulpan Gordon in Tel Aviv (for learning Hebrew in Israel). Is there any way to earn money whilst studying at an Ulpan. For the Ulpan I would have a study visa. To work in Israel I'm under the impression I would need a B1 work visa, where it seems you are only allowed to work in a specific field, and only that one field, at that one company, that you have specified on your work visa. Therefore, I don't think it's possible for an immigrant to get a part-time job(s) whilst studying in Israel (and frustratingly I know jobs are available). I'm wondering if anyone knows differently, has any advice, or can point me in the direction of advice. I am not Jewish, I'm a UK citizen, and yes I'm sure this is what I want to do. Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help Shoshi - what you have said is very interesting! I hope you get the chance to write back if you read this. Is it really legal to work as a babysitter without a visa? Could you please tell me how you know this? The prospect is very encouraging for me! Thank you.

Your best bet would be to find a job that doesn't require you to be a legal worker, such as babysitting or tutoring. Any other job would require you to get a work visa, but I'm pretty sure you are supposed to find work first and then bring a letter to the ministry of interior who deals with this stuff. Good luck! And kol hakavod!

can i work in israel

can i work in israel?
i'm american. practically my whole family on my father's side, except for my dad and his siblings, and my grandparents, were born in israel (and they're all jewish), and apparently my grandfather can move there anytime he wants because of some service he did in WWII. i'm wondering, because i am going to be traveling soon, and i want to work in a foreign country instead of flying back here. i was thinking farm or agricultural work or something. am i dreaming? does israel have much paid farm work? sorry i rambled a bit, thanks for answering.

Finding available (paid) work in Israel is difficult. Try one of kibbutzim
2 :
this violates the recent anti-israel boycotts. You may not be aware of the horrible things Israel has been up to lately. You are better off staying far far away from this backward occupying government.
3 :
Yes, you can work in Israel. Talk with a consulate or embassy to smooth out some details, though. Israel has a lot of agricultural work. There are kibbutzim, and moshavim, that should be willing to take you on. Many speak English, so if you have a problem learning a new language (especially a non-Romance one such as Hebrew), then you can learn at your own pace without having any kind of barrier. Behatzle'cha (good luck) Edit: pibe- While a maternal Jewish heritage does make one Jewish, anyone can be a Jew through the process of converting to Judaism. And while it is easier for Jews to immigrate to Israel, anyone can do it. And while some agricultural jobs do not pay well, the kibbutz is definitely a worthwhile thing to experience (or so I hear).
4 :
For immigrating to Israel you must be jewish. For being jewish, your mother, not father, must be jew In that case you can immigrate to Israel. If you get there you'll see that agricultural work is very bad payed.
5 :
Firstly,the Jewish is only inherited on the mother side of the family or if you in fact were born there.The farm work also known as Kibutz or Moshaf and they dont pay much at all,they do feed you however and give you a place to sleep sometimes you will share a room with one or more persons,but its great fun!!! If you want to make money you be better off working in Tel-Aviv or somewhere like it as a waiter or dishwashing.There is plenty of jobs available if you want to work.In Tel-Aviv you book yourself in one of the hostels and everyday someone will call needing someone to do some kind of work dishwashing,construction ect.The hostel i used was called No1 Hostel in Ben yehudda street if i remember correctly. You will receive a 3 month visit visa when you get there,just always make sure you dont overstay and keep your visas up to date.Hope this will be helpfull and remember it`s illegal to work without the correct visas LOL!!!

To answer you, you will probably be able to only find a job as waitresing.Israel has become very strict with foreign workers. Even if you are Jewish you cant simply land in Israel and demand a job, there is a whole process that needs to be done, in order for one to get citizenship.Another option for you is to volunteer on a kibbutz or a moshav good luck

Caro, Yes you can find a work if they give you a permit, now to get the permit in an Apartheid system it will be very tough, Good luck anyway.

If you passport has some evidence that you were in Israel, you will probably have trouble getting a visa. But since that was 5 years ago, has the passport that had your Israeli visa expired? If not, can you "lose" that passport and get another one? The new passport will not have evidence of the Israeli visa, so you should be good to go.
