Workers from Nepal for your company

As a recruitment agency for Nepal, we bring foreign staff from Nepal to companies across Romania, from unskilled Nepalese workers to skilled trades. If you searched for “Nepalese workers”, “workforce from Nepal”, “recruitment agency Nepal” or “foreign staff from Nepal”, you are on the right page: we tell you on the same working day whether we can organise recruitment from Nepal for your positions, roughly what it costs and how long it takes.

Nepal is one of the main markets from which CADIMA YOU SEE recruits workers for employers in Romania. We recruit directly: our team travels to the selection or runs it online, using our own methods and with the support of our Dubai office; where we cannot cover the demand ourselves, we rely on licensed local partners as a fallback. Hiring follows the D/AM2 visa procedure introduced by GEO 32/2026 (OUG 32/2026): a cerere unică (single application) in WorkinRomania.gov.ro, a visa at the competent diplomatic mission and a permis unic (single permit) issued by IGI (General Inspectorate for Immigration) after arrival.

Occupations usually available

All are on the List of shortage occupations (Lista ocupațiilor deficitare) (Order 1.073/2026). For other trades, search the full list.

How we run the selection

1. Pre-selection according to the requirements in the ofertă fermă (firm job offer): occupation and COR code, minimum experience, age, level of English, availability to leave.
2. Verification of documents and declared experience: passport, qualification certificates (where they exist), references from former employers, including from the Gulf countries.
3. Video interview between the employer and each candidate, with an interpreter provided by us if needed; this is the option we recommend for small orders.
4. Filmed practical test for skilled trades (welding, bricklaying, carpentry, cooking), following the employer's instructions.
5. Basic medical check in the country of origin, before the contract is signed.
6. For orders of more than 50 workers, the employer's representatives can attend the selection in Asia in person; the trip is paid for by the agency.
7. The final list is approved in writing by the employer; only then are the placement contract and the individual employment contract signed.

Interviews and practical testing

For skilled trades we organise a filmed practical test, based on a task sheet agreed with the employer: a weld seam in the required position, a section of brickwork or drywall installation, the preparation of a recipe. The employer receives the recording and a short evaluation sheet and decides alone whether that candidate stays on the list. For unskilled occupations we check physical endurance, understanding of simple instructions and punctuality at appointments.

Languages spoken

The mother tongue of most candidates is Nepali; many also speak Hindi. English ranges from basic to conversational: those who have worked in the Gulf usually understand simple work instructions, but not all of them can hold a technical discussion. The real level is checked in the video interview, not from the CV. Romanian is learned after arrival, in the mandatory course provided by the employer (minimum 6 months, at least 6 hours per week).

The worker's documents

• Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the visa period, with at least 2 blank pages.
• Criminal record certificate from Nepal, translated into Romanian, English or French and legalised according to the requirements of the competent consulate. Nepal is not a party to the Hague Convention, so documents are legalised through consular channels; the exact requirements are checked on the filing date.
• Travel medical insurance (meeting the requirements of art. 27^2, point (1), letter a) of OUG 194/2002, republished) of at least EUR 30,000, covering the entire visa period.
• Proof of means of subsistence at the level of the gross minimum wage for 90 days, unless the firm job offer states that the employer covers these costs.
• CV and, where the position requires it, qualification certificates translated and legalised; the need for recognition of studies is checked for each COR code.
• Two 3x4 photographs and biometric data taken at the consulate.
• Exit formalities required by the Nepalese authorities for migrant workers: we obtain them ourselves or, if needed, through the licensed local partner; the requirements in force are checked on the departure date.

The stages, from request to arrival

The employer's responsibilities

• Payment of the salary exclusively into the worker's bank account.
• Individual employment contract in Romanian and in Nepali or in an international language the worker understands.
• Occupational health and safety (SSM) training in a language the worker understands, and protective equipment.
• Romanian language courses with integration elements, minimum 6 months, at least 6 hours per week.
• If you provide accommodation: rent cannot exceed 25% of the net salary and is not withheld automatically.
• Notifying the agency and IGI within 5 working days of unjustified absences of more than 3 consecutive working days or of termination of the contract.
• Keeping copies of the passport, permit and supporting documents for at least 5 years after termination of the contract.

Travel arrangements

Flights from Kathmandu to Romania usually have a stopover in the Gulf or Turkey. By law, the ticket, domestic transport and accommodation are borne by the worker, unless the employer decides otherwise in the firm job offer; decide this before the selection, because it directly affects acceptance of the offer. We announce the arrival date at least 10 days in advance, pick the workers up at the airport and take them to the workplace or accommodation.
