Confirm the latest official rule
This is an independent preparation guide, not an official notice or legal decision. Requirements can change by office, service type, applicant situation, and current government notice.
Collect the worker's passport, labour approval, visa, employer and location, contract, recent contact, problem description, and emergency evidence before contacting the responsible official agency or mission.
Why this matters
In an emergency, officials need enough facts to identify the worker, location, employer, and legal employment route. A prepared file saves time.

The decision point most people miss
Decide whether the danger is immediate. For immediate threats, contact local emergency services and the nearest Nepali mission while also starting the foreign employment support process.
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.
