The UAE currently charges 353.27 dirhams, equivalent to Rs 14,144 at the current exchange rate, to certify a police report. Before this requirement, police reports were not mandatory for UAE entry, and workers did not have to bear this cost. Foreign employment entrepreneurs say workers are being exploited as the added financial burden continues without government intervention. Despite the government fixing a maximum foreign employment fee of Rs 10,000, workers in practice are forced to pay between Rs 200,000 and Rs 400,000 to go to the UAE. The UAE remains the top destination for Nepali workers, accounting for nearly one third of all labour approvals in recent years.
