In recent developments, Israel has completed necessary preparations for granting work permits to Nepali citizens who were blocked from receiving visas due to conflict. This decision comes after Israel halted visas for Nepali workers who were seeking employment opportunities in the country.
Shmuel Ari Bassal, the Israeli Ambassador to Nepal, discussed this matter with Kamal Prasad Bhattarai, the Director General of the Foreign Employment Department of Nepal. They deliberated on the issue of providing work permits to Nepalis who were affected by the visa suspension.
Furthermore, there have been discussions regarding extending the validity of work permits for Nepali workers already in Israel whose permits have expired. The authorities are considering making provisions to extend the validity of these permits.
According to an official statement released by the department, the Israeli government is actively prepared to provide necessary support for the security of Nepali citizens currently residing in Israel. This move highlights a positive step towards cooperation between the two countries in ensuring the safety and well-being of Nepali workers in Israel.
Opinion from Ramesh Khatri, representative of Kansai Nepal News: “This decision to grant work permits to Nepali citizens by Israel is a significant development that will provide relief to many Nepali workers affected by the visa suspension. It demonstrates a commitment to addressing the challenges faced by Nepali workers abroad and fostering a collaborative relationship between Nepal and Israel.”
