Govt to provide labour permit from missions abroad

 Kathmandu, Mar. 15

Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security (MoLESS) has implemented a system to provide labour permit from the Nepali missions in the labour destination country.

Considering the troubles Nepali migrant workers have been facing in the foreign land due to the obligation to return to Nepal to renew or obtain the labour permit and the workers who died while their permit was expired were deprived of the relief and rescue facilities, the government has decided to issue labour permit from the missions of the destination country, the ministry informed in a statement issued on Wednesday.

The MoLESS informed that it has been implementing a facility to make arrangements to use Nepali banking facility and deposit the fees in Nepali bank accounts via mobile app.

The labour permit would be issued on the basis of the employment agreement between the employer and worker in the destination country and it would be provided for the total term mentioned in the agreement.
