WORK PERMIT : temporary work permit

In case of hiring local crew and coming over only with head of departments a temporary press card is issued through Hocus Focus films to foriegn workers.

Otherwise, the local producer must make sure that any paid employee from outside Israel has a temporary work permit for a film shoot in Israel. This allows the foreign employee to obtain a temporary employment short stay card.

For short periods foreign workers paid by a compagny outside Israel do not require work permits. However, these instructions may change at any time. Please check at time of pre-production with films@focusfilms.com
