i'm in such a fix... wonderin if anyone out there is in a similar situation or can help...

i found a highly recommended nepali maid (who was working for a family here for 8 years) and is currently in Nepal... got her housemaid visa processed through the DNRD and have all the legal documents such as contract, health insurance, etc... and sent this across to her to be able to buy a ticket and come but the travel agents in nepal are not issuing her a ticket saying that there is a ban on her travelling to middle east...

i called up the nepalese embassy here and they said that the ban is there and valid

i don't know why the DNRD let us issue a visa for her if such a ban exists...

no i have no idea what to do... somebody recommended asking her to come from delhi (india) instead of kathmandu (nepal)... wondering if anyone has done this recently and would recommend it...

your thoughts ladies???

Just get her through Delhi...bus from Nepal to Delhi and by air from Delhi to Dubai. usually they have to get a clearance paper from Nepali immigration paying them some 20K..red tapism is rampant there.. to avoid that the maids come through Delhi.

Hi abby_n_christina, How were her previous employers in Dubai managing her travel? Perhaps you can ask them for a way out.

Officially, Nepal government does NOT allow women to work in UAE as housemaids. You have to bring them through India, that is how they all get here. Just change her ticket to India and she can get our of Nepal no problem, then she can catch her connection flight to Dubai. Good luck.

I have a Nepalese house boy and I also send him back to Nepal through Delhi. Costs me more money and him the travel but he prefers this arrangement as he says that the immigartion at Nepal harases him when he tries to come to Dubai from Nepal. There is no problem in sending him back & forth to Delhi so I really recommend u do that.

No, this is the Nepalese govt not allowing her to come here to work. I heard you should bring her through Delhi too. This will be an issue every time she travels home too. Ask Chiggy, she may know the answer.

Maids get an automatic ban when they cancel their visa. Contact the DNRD again, they MAY let you pay a fine to lift the ban, but otherwise, she'll have to wait out her ban, or you'll have to start looking for a new maid.
