Kathmandu, Dec 23: The government has issued a travel advisory to the Nepali citizens preparing to travel to Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.
Issuing a travel advisory today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked the Nepali citizens not to travel in visit visa for the purpose of foreign employment in these countries and also to take stock of the business firms, companies and employers from Nepal’s diplomatic missions there or to check the websites of those firms, companies and employers.
The Ministry’s travel advisory has come at a time when the Nepali citizens are trafficked to Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, and are forced for illegal jobs after the seizure of their passport from the employees. It is said that Nepalis are forced to work for as long as 13 hours and are tortured and have faced the issues of wage theft too.
The Ministry also said that its attention was drawn to the increasing number of Nepalis submitting their applications at Nepal’s embassies in Yangon and Bangkok for rescue.
Similarly, the Ministry has asked all to remain cautious to the acts of luring of foreign jobs and offering any sorts of other temptations and other illegal actions.
Likewise, the Ministry has cautioned not to fall in temptations of online casino, call centre frauds, crypto currency and other job offers in Bangkok from the suspicious IT firms. #nepal #Thailand #Cambodia #mofa
