Seven football clubs in Nepal have been brought under investigation by the Immigration Department after they were found to have employed foreign players in football matches without work permits and work permits.
The department has launched an investigation into the matter after it was found that they had violated immigration laws by employing foreign players. After it was found that foreign players were being brought into the clubs against the law, the department had written a letter to the Nepal Football Association (ANFA) on Thursday informing it of the legal provisions.
According to the department, the investigation and monitoring were initiated after it was found that foreign players who entered Jawalakhel Youth Club, Machhindra, Manang Marsyangdi, Church Boys, Satdobato Youth, Sankata and Bhagwati Club did not obtain work permits and work permits.
Even though these clubs have brought players from Uzbekistan, Japan, Ghana, Nigeria, Britain, Cameroon, Burkina Faso and other countries on tourist visas, they have not obtained work permits and work permits from the Immigration Department. The department has stated that 38 foreign nationals have joined various clubs as players and that the necessary investigation has been initiated as they have not completed the legal process.
According to the Immigration Regulations 2051, foreign nationals who have entered for one purpose cannot engage in other work contrary to the purpose. If they want to stay or work for another purpose, they must obtain a labor permit from the Labor Department and a work permit from the Immigration Department. If the provisions of the law are violated, such foreign nationals will be deported to the relevant country after collecting the prescribed fine.
‘The department has started monitoring whether or not they are involved in activities against immigration laws. For this purpose, we have written a letter to ANFA requesting details of which clubs have brought in foreign players with work permits and labor permits,’ said Ramchandra Tiwari, Director General of the department. ‘If someone employs foreigners illegally, action will be taken as per the law. We have now sought an answer from ANFA.’
Tiwari informed that ANFA ignored the request for information on this matter several times before, so they sent a letter on Thursday.
