They were promised lucrative employment by taking hefty amounts. It is said that they were forced to involve themselves in activities that are prohibited by the Nepal government as per existing law.
Nepali nationals have been requested not to visit abroad on tourist visas while going for employment. A legal labor permit is essential to go abroad for a job, the MoFA cautioned.
According to the MoFA, the fraudsters had seized Nepalis passports to take them to Myanmar from Thailand in an illegal way.
The Nepalis falling victims to such fraud are requested to communicated at the emails eonbangkok@mofa.gov.np; eonyangon@mofa.gov.np; or call at +66-869915554, +95-1-545880 and +95-1-557168.
