Caregiving Foreign-Worker Bureaus: How to Check Before You Sign

First check: is the company on the official list?

The Population and Immigration Authority publishes the list of entities licensed to operate in the caregiving branch. Search by full legal name and company number, not by brand or website name. See the Population and Immigration Authority. Orshina operates as "Orshina - Foreign Workers Ltd.", company number 515429694.

What fees may be charged?

The amounts a licensed entity may charge a family are capped by the Authority's procedures and permit conditions. Orshina publishes its own in full: a one-time placement fee of ILS 2,000 incl. VAT and a monthly care fee of ILS 70 incl. VAT. Wages, insurance, deposits and authority fees are paid directly to the worker and the state. Full breakdown: service fees and terms.

What the agreement must state

• A full fee breakdown: one-time, recurring, and what is paid to other parties.
• Exactly what the service includes — permit guidance, paperwork, registration, onboarding.
• Cancellation and refund terms, including if the placement never happens.
• What happens if the match fails and a replacement is needed.
• A named point of contact after placement, not only until signature.
• A written agreement provided for review before signing.

Warning signs

• Large cash payment up front with no invoice or signed agreement.
• Promises of an "immediate" caregiver or a guaranteed placement date.
• Refusal to give a legal name and company number you can verify.
• Pressure to sign on the spot, or a "today only" price.
• Any suggestion that the permit can be skipped — that employment is unlawful.
