Nepal has lifted its year-long travel ban imposed on housemaids and reduced the age at which women can be employed, but new rules will apply to those seeking a domestic worker from the country.

The Nepalese government has reduced the age restriction from 30 to 20, but individuals in the UAE who wish to hire a Nepalese maid will now have to go through an agency, instead of contacting the country’s embassy in Abu Dhabi directly.

In an interview with The National, Nepal’s ambassador to the UAE, Dhananjay Jha, said: “From now on, only recruitment agencies registered with the mission can process domestic helpers’ documents and the embassy directly will not accept any such applications.”

Local agencies registered with the Nepali embassy and agencies registered with the government in Nepal can send and receive workers, he said.

“Then the agency here would hand over the domestic help to the individual,” Mr Jha said.
