The Foreign Employment Term Life Policy is a compulsory, single-premium term life insurance that every Nepali going abroad for work must buy before the Department of Foreign Employment (DoFE) issues a labour permit / e-Sticker. It is sold only by Nepal Insurance Authority (NIA)-licensed life insurers (currently around 10 companies such as Nepal Life, IME Life, Citizen Life, SuryaJyoti and Reliable Life) under a government-standardised benefit structure. It pays a fixed sum assured of NPR 1,000,000 on death, plus add-ons for funeral expenses, body repatriation, loss of income, accidental disability, critical illness and emergency medical costs faced by the migrant worker during the contract period. The term is bought to match the employment contract (roughly 1 to 6.5 years, usually contract plus 6 months) and is renewed each time the worker's permit is renewed.
