Re-entry is open for young people who are selected to go to South Korea through the Employment Permit System (EPS). The entry, which has been postponed since the second week of January due to coronary infection risk, will be reopened on March 7, 2022.
According to the Department of Foreign Employment, 236 of those who were not selected to go to South Korea for employment through EPS on March 8 will go to Korea at once. On the same day, 98 regular workers and 138 committed workers will go to Korea. Committed worker refers to those who go to Korea through EPS and return on time after working for four years and 10 months.
Director-General of the Department Shesh Narayan Poudel informed that the youths who have chosen to go to Korea in both regular and committed ways will be able to enter Korea as soon as the flight is open. He said that most of the committed workers on the flight to South Korea, which started in November, had young people on board, but now people from both groups can go.
According to the EPS Korea branch of the department, about 7,000 regular workers and 3,000 committed workers have been selected to go to Korea. Of these, 1,071 young people have entered Korea and the rest are waiting to leave.
Director-General Poudel said that he had talked with the head of the Korean Department of Human Resources (HRD) about taking the remaining youths to South Korea as soon as possible after completing all the procedures to go to South Korea. He expressed confidence that the Nepali workers selected for Korea would leave in time as the Korean government was satisfied with the work of Nepali workers.
In a conversation with the head of HRD, as the risk of corona in Nepal is less, it has been proposed to re-test the young people who entered Korea after testing Covid-19 from Nepal and send them directly to the company and he is positive about this, said Director General Poudel.
A copy of the Covid-19 vaccine card or QR code certificate for a young person entering Korea and a mandatory quarantine for 10 days at their own expense upon arrival in South Korea is required at the rate of 120,000 Korean Won per day, or 1.2 million Won, or 119,000 rupees. It has to happen.
