— Verify First

Is this recruiter genuine? Nepal

Before you pay anyone, look them up in your government's own record, not on their own website or in a chat message.

Nepal

Department of Foreign Employment (DoFE)

DoFE licenses foreign-employment agencies and issues the labour permit every Nepali worker needs before leaving for paid work abroad.

How to check: Confirm the agency holds a current DoFE licence, and that the labour permit names the employer, destination and agency you were promised.

Three things to do before you send any payment

  1. 01

    Is the recruiter licensed?

    Look the agency up in your government's own list, using the link above. If you cannot find it, stop.

  2. 02

    Does the offer match what you were promised?

    Role, pay, duration and who pays for what must be written down, and match what you were told.

  3. 03

    Do you know who to call?

    Save the complaint line for your destination before you fly, while you are still able to choose not to go.

Checking a recruiter does not guarantee a job. It tells you whether they are on the official record.
