Ambassador of Israel issuing visa to the Nepali workers.

Kathmandu, February 13: The first group of 1,000 Nepali auxiliary workers in the caregiver sector in Israel is set to depart for Israel soon. The visa process for the first 100 workers has already been completed, with the remaining candidates progressing accordingly.

A total of 2,112 candidates (1156 females and 956 males), were selected through a transparent live lottery process conducted in August 2024 at the Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA) office in Jerusalem, Israel. The remaining 1,112 will proceed around the time the first batch has completed their process.

These workers will be employed in long-term care facilities such as geriatric homes and elderly care centers in Israel, in accordance with the Government-to-Government (G2G) agreement between Nepal and Israel, signed in 2020.
