What the Work Actually Involves
Fish processing in Oman is factory work with a defined rhythm — not a fishing-boat job. Workers on this line handle:
- Sorting and grading fresh catch by size and type as it arrives from the processing hall
- Cleaning and preparation before the freezing stage, following hygiene protocols
- Freezing line operation — loading and monitoring the freezing and cold-storage equipment after training
- Packing and labelling finished products to export standards, meeting daily targets
- Hygiene and safety compliance — the seafood export industry runs strict food-safety audits, and workers are trained on the standards
The work happens in a temperature-controlled environment, which is why the company provides full cold-store gear. If you have worked in Nepal’s growing food-processing sector — or any factory or packing work — the routine will feel familiar from day one.
Salary Reality Check: OR 160 Compared to Nepal
Rs. 63,830 per month is a life-changing number for most families, and it is worth understanding exactly why:
| Comparison | Monthly |
|---|---|
| This Oman job (OR 160) | Rs. 63,830 + free food + free accommodation |
| Nepal minimum wage (factory/industry) | Rs. 17,300 |
| Typical Kathmandu packing/factory job | Rs. 18,000 – 25,000 (no free housing) |
The Oman salary is roughly 3.5 times Nepal’s industrial minimum wage — and because food and accommodation are free, almost the entire amount is savings. Over the 2-year contract that is over Rs. 15 lakh in earnings, before overtime. Workers who extend for a second term (common in this factory) cross Rs. 30 lakh in total earnings with flights home paid each cycle.
Note on the currency: OR stands for Omani Rial. At current rates OR 1 ≈ Rs. 399, so OR 160 ≈ Rs. 63,830. Salaries in Oman are paid in Rial; families in Nepal typically receive remittances through the banking channel at the official rate.
What This Job Costs You (Government-Approved Amounts Only)
Nepal’s Department of Foreign Employment approves a fixed cost structure for every demand letter, and this one is published on the advertisement itself. Here is the complete list:
| Item | Amount | Paid By |
|---|---|---|
| Service charge (agency) | Rs. 10,000 | Worker |
| SSF (Social Security Fund) | Rs. 2,595 | Worker |
| Welfare fund | Rs. 1,500 | Worker |
| Orientation (induction training) | Rs. 700 | Worker |
| Pre-medical (in Nepal) | At clinic rates | Worker |
| Insurance (in Nepal) | At standard rates | Worker |
| Employment medical | — | Employer company |
| Air ticket | — | Employer company |
| Visa fee + stamping | — | Employer company |
Your total agency-side cost: Rs. 14,795 (plus pre-medical and insurance at standard clinic rates). That is the complete and final figure — do not pay anyone any amount beyond these numbers. The government’s own warning printed on the advertisement says it plainly: pay only after your visa is received and your departure is confirmed, and always collect the official receipt (bauchar).
Requirements: Who Can Apply
- Female candidates aged 18–40
- No experience required — the company provides full training on the freezing and packing line
- Basic literacy preferred (enough to follow written safety instructions)
- Physically fit for standing work in a cold-store environment
- Valid passport with at least 6 months validity (apply for one immediately if you do not have it)
- Medically fit for the Oman employment medical (GAMCA-approved clinic in Kathmandu)
Note on the passport: if you do not have one yet, you can start the application (district administration office, ~1-2 weeks) and still attend the interview — but visa processing cannot begin without it, so start now.
Interview Details: 26 & 27 September 2026
Date: 26 & 27 September 2026 (10 & 11 Ashoj 2083)
Venue: Mount Everest International Overseas Pvt. Ltd., Basundhara, Kathmandu-3
Reporting time: 9:00 AM
What to bring: original passport, citizenship photocopy, 2 passport-size photos, and any previous work experience letters
The interview is conducted at the agency office with company representatives. For factory labour roles, the interview focuses on willingness to work in a cold environment, basic understanding of hygiene, and confirmation that candidates and families understand the 2-year contract. Bring a family member if you wish — our counsellors explain the contract terms in Nepali to both the candidate and family before anything is signed.
Why Oman? What Life Looks Like There
Oman is one of the most popular destinations for Nepali workers for good reason:
- Higher savings potential — Omani salaries for factory work are among the best in the Gulf for entry-level positions, and this package includes free food and housing
- Calmer, smaller cities — the seafood processing plants sit near the coast; workers describe the environment as quieter and less congested than Dubai or Doha
- Established Nepali community — over 20,000 Nepali workers live in Oman, with community groups, Nepali groceries and festival celebrations
- Nepali embassy presence — the Embassy of Nepal in Muscat provides support, and the government’s warning notice reminds every worker to keep the embassy contact details with them
- Strong labour protections — Oman’s labour law requires written contracts, defined working hours and the wage protection system
For first-time female migrant workers, the combination of factory-based work (not domestic isolation), company-provided accommodation with other workers, and a documented demand letter makes this a far safer entry point than many alternatives — which is exactly why we only process fully compliant, government-approved letters like this one. See our full Oman hiring guide for more on the destination.
Fraud Protection: The Government’s 7 Warnings
Every demand letter in Nepal carries a mandatory warning list from the Department of Foreign Employment. These are the exact rules that protect you — read them carefully:
- Pay only after visa confirmation. Do not hand over money until your visa is received and your departure is confirmed — and always take the receipt.
- Keep the embassy contact details. Save the Nepali embassy address and phone number in Oman before you fly; it is your first resource in any difficulty.
- Never pay more than the stated amounts. The advertisement lists the exact costs — anyone demanding extra is breaking the law.
- Orientation training is mandatory. You must complete the pre-departure orientation (induction) course before flying — it covers your rights, safety and destination information.
- Read before signing. Study the contract carefully — country, company, salary, facilities and conditions — and keep your own copy.
- Fly only from Nepal’s airport. Departing via other routes is how people get trafficked — a legal job always departs from Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport.
- Verify with DOFE. For any question about this advertisement, contact the Department of Foreign Employment in Tahachal, Kathmandu.
Our office follows all seven rules as a condition of our DOFE licence (1481/074/75). If any agency asks you to break even one of them, walk away and report it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can women with no work experience apply for this Oman job?
Yes. The demand letter requires 20 female workers and the company provides full training on the freezing and packing line — no prior factory experience is needed. You need to be aged 18–40, physically fit and hold (or be applying for) a passport.
What is OR 160 in Nepali rupees?
OR 160 (Omani Rial) is approximately Rs. 63,830 per month at current exchange rates, paid tax-free, with free food and free accommodation on top — so nearly the full amount is savings.
Do I have to pay for the visa or air ticket?
No. For this job the employer company pays the visa fee, visa stamping and air ticket. Your only costs are the government-approved worker charges: Rs. 10,000 service charge, Rs. 2,595 SSF, Rs. 1,500 welfare fund, Rs. 700 orientation, plus pre-medical and insurance at clinic rates — total Rs. 14,795 plus medicals.
Is this job safe for first-time female migrant workers?
This is a factory-based job with company accommodation (not domestic work), processed on a fully documented government demand letter through a DOFE-licensed agency. You will attend mandatory pre-departure orientation, fly from Kathmandu airport, and keep the Nepali embassy contacts in Oman — the standard safety framework that legal migration requires.

26 & 27 September 2026 (10 & 11 Ashoj 2083) at the Mount Everest International office in Basundhara, Kathmandu-3. Report at 9:00 AM with your passport, citizenship copy and 2 photos.
What if I don’t have a passport yet?
Start the application at your district administration office immediately (usually 1–2 weeks) and contact us on WhatsApp — you can attend the interview while it processes, but visa stamping requires the actual passport.
How much can I save over the 2-year contract?
With free food and accommodation, nearly the full salary is savings: roughly Rs. 15 lakh over two years before overtime, and more if you extend for a second term — which many workers at this factory do.
