Few Nepalis apply for Malaysia amnesty scheme for undocumented workers Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, Dec. 26 The Malaysian government has once again rolled out an amnesty scheme targeting illegal immigrants, including undocumented Nepali workers, giving them a chance to return home.
Under the latest scheme, Nepalis living in Malaysia illegally can voluntarily return home without facing any serious legal actions. Nepali workers can apply to return home under this scheme, Pratik Karki, second secretary at the Nepali Embassy in Malaysia, told the Post over the phone. The difference between the previous amnesty scheme and the new one is that workers will be required to pay only 500 Malaysian ringgits (approximately Rs20,295) compared to RM700 in the past.
