Nepali youths, who had lately left the country on visit visas in the hope of finding jobs abroad, have been returning home empty-handed.
A group of 13 youths who became victims of a visit visa scam and returned home has come in touch with the Department of Foreign Employment last week. The youths were stranded in the United Arab Emirates for a month.
[…] This is the first big group, which has come in contact with the government agencies in recent weeks after reports that Nepalis in large numbers have been leaving the country through illegal channels, according to officials.
According to Matrika Sapkota, a section officer at the Department of Foreign Employment, the group was duped by a local sub-agent and the Balkumari-based Target Immigration and Education Consultancy.
