A resident of Israel who moves to another country and works there is usually required by law to pay insurance contributions in that country. On the other hand, this person is also required to pay insurance contributions in Israel, during the period of residing abroad.
The objective of the Conventions is to prevent this double payment; a resident of Israel who moves to a country with which Israel has signed a Convention will pay insurance contributions only in one of these two countries.
Health insurance is not included in the Conventions; a resident of Israel residing abroad should continue to pay the health insurance contributions to the National Insurance Institute in Israel. The health insurance contributions are at the minimum rate NIS 88 (as of 01.01.2008) per month.
