Israel Auxiliary Worker Program (G2G): Complete Guide for Nepali Applicants 2026

Israel recruits foreign workers to staff its Long Term Care Facilities — including group homes located in individual apartments — caring for people of any age with severe physical and mental disabilities. Nepal and Israel formalised this as a Government-to-Government (G2G) labour agreement, most recently opened for applications under DoFE Advertisement No. 01/82/83, calling for 2,300 Auxiliary Workers (60% women, 40% men).

The program is managed by Nepal's Department of Foreign Employment (DoFE) on the Nepal side and Israel's Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA) on the Israel side. Because it is government-managed, workers apply through DoFE's own FERMS portal (ferms.dofe.gov.np) rather than a private recruitment agency, and are selected via an official roster and lottery process rather than direct employer hiring.

Per the official notice, you must be a Nepali citizen aged 25 to 45 years, with a minimum height of 1.5 meters and minimum weight of 45 kilograms. On education, you need either: a Grade 10 pass plus at least 15 months of study in A.N.M. or C.M.A.-related subjects, or a 10+2 (or equivalent) qualification plus a minimum of 3 months of caregiving training from a Government of Nepal-recognised training provider — the exact category our CTEVT-certified Israel-track course falls under.

You must not have previously worked in Israel, and your father, mother, husband, wife, son, or daughter must not currently be residing or working there. You must be physically and mentally healthy — free of tuberculosis, hepatitis, epilepsy, gonorrhea, or AIDS — capable of lifting heavy items as the role requires, not involved in any addiction, and hold a passport valid for at least 3 more years from when your visa process begins.

Our 3-month, 390-hour CTEVT-certified caregiver course covers the core competencies expected of an Auxiliary Worker: personal care and hygiene assistance, mobility and transfer support, nutrition and feeding assistance, medication reminders, dementia and elderly care basics, and emergency first aid.

Our Israel-track programme also includes foundation Hebrew phrases and cultural orientation to prepare students for daily life in Israel, on top of the CTEVT certificate that satisfies the official notice's training/education eligibility requirement.

The official notice requires a specific English proficiency certificate, not a Hebrew test: the Cambridge Upskill English Test (Cambridge University Press and Assessment), obtained through CIIN International Qualifications Pvt. Ltd. in Tripureshwor, Kathmandu — an institution designated by Israel's PIBA specifically for this purpose. The minimum required bands are Reading A2, Writing A1, Listening A2, and Speaking B1. Applications that don't meet this standard are rejected. The test costs NPR 5,000 and is a mandatory upload alongside your FERMS application.

The official monthly salary is NIS 6,443.65 (approximately NPR 348,000). Working hours are up to 6 days per week, 42 hours per week excluding overtime, with overtime paid per Israeli government rules and annual leave per Israeli law. The contract begins at 1 year and is extendable up to a maximum of 5 years total.

Deducted from your monthly remuneration, per Israeli labour law: the premium for employer-provided health insurance, accommodation and food expenses (food is entirely worker-borne; accommodation is employer-arranged but worker-paid), property tax/water/electricity charges, and income tax. Separately, your employer deposits 12.5% of your salary each month into a savings account in your name, paid out to you once you leave Israel immediately after your contract ends.

The application runs through DoFE's FERMS portal and Israel's PIBA selection system, in this sequence:
