Working in the UAE from Nepal legally requires going through a Department of Foreign Employment (DoFE)-licensed recruitment agency, with a verified employer demand and a proper labour permit. Skipping this process is how workers get defrauded.
The step-by-step process
- Register with a licensed agency and share your CV and trade.
- Your skills are verified (trade test) and your documents checked.
- When an employer selects you, you complete a medical, sign a contract, and process your visa.
- Your DoFE labour permit and emigration clearance are issued.
- You attend pre-departure orientation, then travel legally to the UAE.
Documents you'll need
A valid passport, medical fitness certificate, the signed employment contract, and the DoFE labour approval. A genuine agency helps you assemble these correctly — it never asks you to travel on a visit visa for work.
What it should cost
Costs are regulated and vary by job and destination. A trustworthy agency discloses any applicable fees in writing before you commit and never demands undisclosed cash payments. If someone guarantees a job for a large upfront fee, treat it as a warning sign.
Avoiding fraud
Only deal with DoFE-licensed agencies. Verify the employer demand is real. Get everything in writing. Never hand over your passport or money without documentation.
