Let's know Recognized Countries for Labour Approval in Nepal. Foreign employment has become an important source of income for many Nepali families. Every year, thousands of Nepali workers travel abroad for better job opportunities. To ensure safe and legal migration, the Government of Nepal requires workers to obtain Labour Approval (Shram Swikriti) before leaving the country for employment.

One important requirement in this process is that the worker must be traveling to a recognized destination country approved by the government.

What Is Labour Approval in Nepal?

Labour approval, also known as Shram Swikriti, is an official permit issued by the Department of Foreign Employment (DoFE) under the Government of Nepal. This approval confirms that a Nepali citizen is legally allowed to work in a foreign country.

The purpose of labour approval is to:

Ø  Protect Nepali migrant workers

 

Ø  Verify employment contracts

 

Ø  Ensure workers receive proper insurance and benefits

 

Ø  Reduce illegal and unsafe migration

Without labour approval, Nepali citizens are not legally allowed to work abroad through official foreign employment.

Special Recruitment Programs for Nepali Worker.

Some countries recruit Nepali workers through special government-to-government ( G-to-G)  programs.

For example:

Ø  South Korea recruits workers through the Employment Permit System (EPS).

 

Ø  Japan hires workers through Technical Intern Training Programs and the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) program.

 

Ø  Israel recruits Nepali caregivers and agricultural workers through a government partnership.

 

These programs are generally considered safer because they are regulated by both governments.

According to various media outlets, Nepalis are reported to be working in 190 countries around the world, but our Nepalese government has not officially sent various types of workers there. The entire list above is taken from the official website of the Nepalese government, DOFE.

Why Recognized Destination Countries Matter

Going to a recognized destination country provides several benefits:

Ø  Legal protection for workers

 

Ø  Verified employment contracts

 

Ø  Access to insurance and compensation

 

Ø  Support from Nepali embassies and government agencies abroad

Workers who travel to unrecognized destinations may face legal risks and may not receive government support if problems occur.

Conclusion

Recognized destination countries play an important role in ensuring safe foreign employment for Nepali workers. Before planning to work abroad, it is essential to confirm whether the destination country is approved by the Government of Nepal and to obtain labour approval from the Department of Foreign Employment.

 

By following legal procedures and choosing recognized destinations, Nepali workers can reduce risks and improve their chances of a safe and successful experience abroad.
