The Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security has reinstated re-entry labour permits for Nepali workers employed in seven countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Jordan and Turkey. Acting on recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the decision allows workers currently on leave in Nepal to return to their jobs. However, permits remain suspended for six countries, including Israel, Iraq and Lebanon, due to ongoing regional tensions. The move comes in response to growing pressure from migrant workers whose permits expired following the March 1 suspension.
