Recruitment Process

All interested foreign employers must recruit through only the licensed agencies registered under the Nepal Government’s Department of Labor and Employment Promotion. Such agencies make direct contacts and negotiate with the overseas employers for procuring manpower requirements. On receipt of any authenticated vacancy demand from the overseas employer, the licensed agency must get all the relevant documents attested by the concerned Nepalese Embassy and then apply to the Director General of Labor and Employment Promotion Department for the recruitment permissions. The Labor Department is the principal Government authority which supervises and monitors the recruitment process of the recruitment agencies and provides permission to export the manpower.
The licensed agencies must apply in the Department with the following documents for the recruitment permissions.

A copy of Power of Attorney issued by the foreign employer in favor of the recruiting agency to act on their behalf.
A copy of Demand Letter from the employer containing details of the vacancies and their offers.
A copy of the employment contract or service agreement.

Authentication of Documents

The above mentioned documents "Demand Letter, Power of Attorney, Agreement between the two agencies concerned and Service Contract" should be authenticated by the Labor Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the concerned country. The Nepalese Embassy authenticates the documents on the presentation of approval of the labor authorities in the relevant country, attestation by the Chamber of Commerce or any competent authority and if necessary, after the visit of the employer's office and labor camp, if it deems to do so. If the Demand Letter is placed through the local recruitment agency, the Nepalese Embassy may ask the agents to produce the service agreement between the employer and the recruitment agents.
