The Nepali embassy in Qatar has resumed verifying demand documents of prospective migrant workers months after halting the process due to the Covid-19 pandemic...According to Sujeet Kumar Shrestha, general secretary of Nepal Association of Foreign Employment Agencies (NAFEA), a grouping of recruiting agencies hiring and supplying Nepali migrant workers to foreign employers, demand verification for Qatar resumed from Sunday..As per a directive, which was implemented in 2018, foreign employers who wish to hire Nepali workers have to first get workers’ demand documents verified by Nepali missions in the respective country. Only then can the other processes of hiring workers begin in Nepal. Recruiting agencies have long been criticising Nepali missions in labour destination countries for not verifying the workers demand documents even after the government decided to resume labour migration. They have been demanding that all Nepali missions resume the service as tens of thousands of Nepali workers have been waiting for a long time.
