Nepal's Migration Policy: Broken Promises

• Nepal's 'Free Visa, Free Ticket' policy, intended to cut costs for migrant workers, fails due to weak enforcement and corruption. Workers face high fees and debt.
• Recruitment agencies exploit loopholes, charging for services employers should cover. Migrants rely on misleading subagents and face job misrepresentation.
• Reform is needed: stricter policy enforcement, better orientation programs, and proactive embassy roles to protect workers' rights.
