What "Shram Swikriti" Means

Shram swikriti (श्रम स्वीकृति) is the DOFE labour permit — the final legal approval that lets a Nepali worker go abroad for employment. People search for it in many spellings: shram check, saram check, sharam check, labour permit check, or a "visa check by passport number". They all mean the same thing: confirming your foreign-employment approval is genuine.

What Each Status Means

StatusWhat it means
Issued / ApprovedYour labour permit is valid — you are legally cleared to work abroad for the listed employer.
Pending / In processYour application is submitted but not yet approved. Do not fly until it is issued.
Not foundNo permit exists for that passport number. Check the number, or your agency may not have applied — call 1135.
Re-entry / RenewFor workers returning to the same employer after a home visit — checked the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check my shram swikriti online?
Go to the official DOFE portal at dofe.gov.np, open the labour permit / shram swikriti search, and enter your passport number to view your permit status. SahAI links you straight to the official check — you enter your passport number only on the government site.
Can I check my shram (saram) status by passport number?
Yes. The DOFE labour permit is searchable by passport number on dofe.gov.np. This is what many workers call a "shram check", "saram check" or "visa check by passport number" — it confirms your foreign-employment approval is genuine.
Is SahAI the official DOFE website?
No. SahAI is an independent free helper for Nepalis. The official government portal is dofe.gov.np, and the actual permit check happens there. We only make it faster to reach and explain how to read the result.
What is the DOFE helpline number?
The government foreign-employment helpline is 1135. Use it to report problems, verify a manpower agency, or get help if your permit status looks wrong.
How do I check a re-entry (renew) labour permit?
The same DOFE online system handles re-entry / renew permits for workers returning to the same employer after a home visit. Check it on dofe.gov.np using your passport details.
My agency says the permit is done but I can't find it. What should I do?
Do not fly until you can see a genuine labour permit yourself. Verify the manpower agency's licence on dofe.gov.np and call the helpline 1135. Working without a real shram swikriti removes all your legal protection, insurance and welfare-fund coverage.
