FEIMS Guide: Pre-Approval for Foreign Employment
What FEIMS is, who registers, documents needed, and how pre-approval fits the process.
By DigitalNepal · Updated 2026-10-04
FEIMS is the Foreign Employment Information Management System where worker details and demands get recorded before departures. Pre-approval through the proper channel is what separates legal migration from risky shortcuts.
Steps
1Understand the sequence
Demand approval, worker registration, pre-approval/labour permit, orientation, insurance, medical, then departure. Skipping steps creates invalid departures.
2Register with true details
Passport, citizenship and contract details must match across every document - mismatches stall permits.
3Use licensed channels
Individual or institutional routes both exist; verify the manpower company's current licence before paying anything.
4Track your status
Keep every receipt and reference. Check status through official channels, not agent assurances.
Good to know: Pay only against receipts at licensed offices. Cash without receipts is the classic way workers lose lakhs.
