Labour permit service goes online

May 20, Kathmandu: The Foreign Employment Office, Kathmandu has informed that it was launching an online service for labour permits from Friday.

Now, anyone going to foreign employment can take the labour permit service online. The Office had however begun the institutional level labour permit a month back.

Similarly, the re-permit for labour had begun last January. The change in service delivery has largely reduced the crowds of service seekers.

Office chief Ramesh Aryal informed that the labour permit service had gone online as per ministry directive so that it would be easy and convenient for both service providers and recipients.

A total of 167,000 persons were provided labour permits last fiscal year while more than half a million people have got labour permits in 10 months of the current fiscal year.
