Every now and then most of the Nepalese are compelled to leave their home land in search of better career. Some years ago the government made commitments on resolving the unemployment problem by loosening the criteria for a Nepali to go abroad and work. There are thousands of youth looking forward to this opportunity just because of the current scenario of the country.

To add a bit sigh of relief to those youth who desperately want to go abroad and earn their living, Abu Dhabi has announced to take Nepali taxi drivers to full fill the vacant drivers position. There are already thousands of Nepalese working in Abu Dhabi. The announcement has stated that approximately two thousand and five hundred taxi drivers would be granted visa as a non-immigrant worker in Abu Dhabi in just one company and that too within 2008. Those taxi drivers would be earning somewhere around twelve hundred dirham which amounts to twenty four thousand in the local value. The Abu Dhabi government has been working on new management system in the taxi operation. The government has already authorized seven companies to operate taxi service. The total requirement of drivers is twelve thousand. Among twelve thousand taxi drivers position, a single company of those seven companies will be taking two and half thousand Nepali taxi drivers. And if the leaving six companies too look for Nepali taxi drivers, there will be more doors opened for Nepali taxi drivers.

So this is a good opportunity for all the taxi drivers to earn good money and to live in a foreign land. The political instability of the nation has only been raising frustration among all the youths.
