The regulated pathway
Overseas employment through Nepal's manpower sector operates under the Foreign Employment Act. Licensed manpower companies and government bodies together manage the steps from recruitment to deployment.
Officially published fees and procedures govern the process, and workers should always verify a company's license before paying anything.
The standard steps
Registration, opportunity matching, verification of documents, employer selection, labour permit issuance, medical screening, and finally departure — each step is documented.
A foreign employment permit is issued by the government body in Nepal before departure for many destinations.
Protecting yourself
Verify the manpower company's license, demand receipts for all payments, keep copies of your contract and labour permit, and report irregularities to the relevant authority.
Never use unlicensed intermediaries who promise guaranteed visas or jobs for extra fees.
