Since 2008, South Korea has been offering work opportunities to Nepali individuals who successfully pass the language examinations.<\/p>\n
Similar opportunities are extended to citizens of 16 other countries alongside Nepal.<\/p>\n
According to the EPS Korea Section, more than 110,000 Nepali youths have already found employment in Korea, with approximately 45,000 currently working in South Korea.<\/p>\n
Between 2008 and 2023, a total of 799,167 individuals filled out application forms for EPS examinations.<\/p>\n

Upon selection, successful applicants are expected to incur expenses of around Rs 200,000, despite the government’s efforts to reduce this amount to Rs 10,000.<\/p>\n
