South Korea, a lucrative destination for Nepali migrant workers, has banned foreign workers from changing jobs. The Ministry of Labour took the decision this week to manage foreign workers entering the job market through Employment Permit System. "The decision has been taken due to the emerging number of illegal foreign workers," the ministry said. Similarly, South Korean immigration office has made it mandatory for EPS workers to submit a police report to track their criminal history. South Korea had ranked Nepal as the best worker supplying country for the year 2011 under the EPS for the second time recognising Nepal's fast and efficient procedure of sending workers.
Earlier in 2009 too, among 15 countries sending workers to South Korea, Nepal had ranked as the best country. South Korea is considered one of the best labour destinations for Nepali job seekers due to nice salaries, safety and perks compared to other destinations. Nepal’s efficient work on holding Korean Language Test and fast procedure for sending workers compared to other countries have impressed South Korea.
