Can fly to Malaysia if your visa is issued before May 16: Govt tells workers

Kathmandu, July 22

The government of Nepal says it will let people who have already received Malaysian work visas before May 16 can get the labour permit and can fly their for job.

Currently, the government has halted sending workers to Malaysia after it was found that many companies were deceiving aspirants in the process. Now, it wants to resume the supply of workers only after the two countries sign a labour agreement.

Despite the ban, Malaysia has been the biggest receiver of Nepali human resources in the fiscal year 2017/18 that concluded recently.

Therefore, recruitment agencies had demanded that those who have already obtain the visa as demanded. They say the number of women waiting for the resumption is around 1,000. The government, however, says the number is not more than 450.

Responding to the demand, the government decided to let them fly if their visa was issued before May 16, the day when a decision was taken about launching a crackdown on recruitment companies and other related businesses.
