Following a temporary halt due to regional conflicts, Nepal has restarted the issuance of work permits for its citizens seeking employment in Middle Eastern countries, aiming to support migrant workers and the national economy.
Nepal has officially resumed the processing and issuance of work permits for Nepali workers aspiring to take jobs in countries across the Middle East. This follows a suspension caused by conflicts and instability in parts of the region. Government authorities announced that the restart of work permit issuance aims to revive labor migration flows that are vital for remittance inflows contributing significantly to Nepal’s economy. While officials emphasized that measures have been put in place to ensure the safety and rights of Nepali workers abroad, no new official statements have detailed specific protocols or agreements with Middle Eastern governments. Media reports indicate that the resumption is expected to benefit thousands of Nepali overseas workers who depend on employment in the Gulf states. The Nepalese Ministry of Labor and Employment continue to advise prospective migrant workers to stay informed through official channels and to ensure compliance with updated regulatory requirements.
