The government has decided not to implement the process of sending skilled workers to South Korea on E-7 visas through manpower companies.
The Department of Foreign Employment announced on Tuesday that this procedure will not be implemented. This notification has been published for the information of all relevant stakeholders, as the instructions have been received that the procedures related to sending skilled workers to the Republic of Korea through E-7 visa through B2B (private sector) will not be implemented.
has been sending unskilled workers to South Korea through the Employment Permit System (EPS). Apart from that, the Ministry of Labor had issued a procedure for sending skilled workers under the E-7 visa through the Manpower Company. According to the procedures, the employer has not submitted the demand letter to the Nepali Embassy in South Korea.
According to the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security, the instructions of the Abuse of Authority Investigation Commission have been implemented. "We were instructed by Akhitar to stop this procedure now and to proceed through Jituji," an official of the Ministry of Labor told Ekantipur, "We have implemented the instructions of the constitutional body." A complaint was filed with the authority about sending skilled manpower to Korea through
Manpower. The Ministry of Labor has already written to Jituji through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Through the labor agreement with Nepal, since 23 July 2007, Korea has been taking unskilled workers to small and medium companies through EPS (E-9). Since then, it has been renewed every two years. Under EPS, Korea has expanded its area by taking workers from manufacturing and agriculture to shipbuilding, forestry, service and route industries. So far, 125,000 workers have reached Korea through EPS. Workers going to EPS will have to bear the entire cost of going to Korea, which is around Rs 120,000.
In the field of foreign employment, EPS system is considered as a successful practice of transparent recruitment process. In EPS, there is no pressure from anyone, no one's advice is required and anyone who has been selected in the language test is selected.
According to the then Minister of Labor Sharatsingh Bhandari, since more than 100,000 Nepalis will participate in the language test in Korea, but only a small number will be taken, Nepal is looking for opportunities in other fields other than EPS. Three times the number of workers who are taken through EPS have passed the language test and kept the roster. There is a provision that only one-third of the roster can go and the remaining two-thirds cannot go.
Lee Jeongkyu, the special envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Korea, who came to Nepal last January, said that the recruitment process of workers is being advanced through the government mechanism (GTUG) only in the EPS system. In EPS, labor is supplied through government mechanisms. This is looked after by the Ministry of Human Resources. Employers and manpower companies (BTUB) are recruiting workers on E-7 visas. He said, "We have brought in skilled manpower through E-7 visas. Skilled workers must be skilled for specific jobs. For this, there is a skill test. It is managed by the Ministry of Law." and must have an agreement with the association.
The employer will bear the costs of air fare, insurance, contribution to the social security fund and labor approval for sending Nepali citizens for employment, and in the case of others, it is mentioned in the procedure. Uday Rai, the president of Immigrant Trade Union (MTU), said that he is demanding the cancellation of the policy decision of the Ministry of Law to allow migrant workers from the E-7 visa to be taken. The quota of migrant workers under this visa will not be affected, he said. We have requested the Korean government to adopt the process.' According to Rai, there is a high possibility of workers being cheated when sending workers through Manpower. 'Now workers are coming from different countries on E-7 visas. They are complaining that they have to pay 12-13 thousand dollars,' he said, 'We are warning that this situation can also happen in Nepal.' Nepalis are going to the job of 'Cook'. The minimum salary of Nepalis going to this area is 1.7 million rupees. In the last 10 years, 227 people have gone on this visa
