At a time when information is being received that Nepalis staying in Nepal and different countries in the Middle East are being scammed in the pretext of getting them job in Portugal, the Nepali Embassy warned not to carry out or be involved in such illegal activities. 

Clarifying that no one could come here in working visa as the government of Portugal has already suspended issuing such type of visa, the Embassy requested all the bodies concerned to avoid any fraud conducted in the name of sending people to Portugal for employment. (RSS)
