A safe, evidence-based guide for workers preparing a foreign employment complaint without making unsupported claims.
Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.

Why this matters

The decision point most people miss
Identify the main issue: overcharging, false job, contract substitution, passport withholding, non-departure, or another violation. State it clearly.
Do not use shortcuts
Do not submit fake records, edit official documents yourself, share OTPs with strangers, or pay anyone who promises guaranteed approval outside the official process.
