What you need to know before applying
A practical overview of the overseas employment process, legal requirements, and workers' rights for Nepali workers going abroad.
DOFE approval — mandatory
All overseas employment from Nepal must be channelled through a DOFE-licensed agency. Illegal recruitment (non-DOFE) offers no worker protection and is the primary route for scams. GWN holds Licence No. 1722/081/082.
Certification improves earnings
CTEVT-certified workers earn 15–40% more than uncertified candidates in the same role. Certification also improves trade-test pass rates and access to better employers. Training typically takes 3–12 weeks.
Destination matters as much as role
The same role can pay NPR 50,000–200,000 depending on destination. Korea and Europe generally offer the best protections and salary growth; Gulf offers speed of placement and tax-free income.
Ethical recruitment — know your rights
No legitimate agency charges illegal upfront fees. All service fees must be disclosed before you sign. GWN's ethics pledge covers fee transparency, contract fidelity, and arrival welfare contact.
Career progression is real
Many Nepali workers start as labourers and return home as supervisors, engineers or entrepreneurs. We actively support career progression through employer-welfare tracking and re-placement services.
