Everything a Nepali worker needs — in one place
From pre-departure planning and DOFE process to worker rights abroad and reintegration after return — comprehensive guides written by people who have helped 70,000+ workers travel safely and legally.
Migrating abroad for work is one of the most significant decisions a Nepali family makes. Done right — through a licensed agency, with the correct documents and a valid DOFE labour permit — it transforms lives. Done wrong, it can mean exploitation, deportation, or permanent financial harm. These guides exist to make sure every Nepali worker who comes to Glocal Workforce Nepal, or who finds us through a search, has access to the same quality of information.
Every guide below is written by or reviewed by professionals who work daily in Nepal's foreign-employment sector. They are updated regularly to reflect changes in DOFE regulations, Gulf labour reforms and bilateral agreements.
