The Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Israel has reported that licensed employment agencies in Israel were granted extension of permits up to 30 November 2007 by the Unit for Supervision of Social laws, License Section of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labour (MOITAL) of Israel.

In view of this, all accredited Israel employment agencies are required to submit to the POLO for verification the translated and notarized copy of their extension of permits. The POLO will not process documents/employment contracts of licensed employment agencies in Israel without this letter from MOITAL.

For the guidance and information of all concerned.
