Here are some resource from my e-book, Nepal: On a budget.

http://jobsnepal.com merojob.com jagire.com The UN also hires expats, so give them a try as well as your embassy.

It is actually difficult except for certain professions. You can try the big, private schools like Lincoln.

Sorry Dikson, but what you were told is just not possible.

A Work Permit is directly related to the type of Visa you have in your passport. If you have a residential visa, you will need and are allowed to work IF you have a Work Permit.

And the only type of visa a foreigner can get at a Nepalese Embassy / Consulate is a Tourist Visa, for a maximum duration of 90 days. Within this time, inside Nepal, at the Department of Immigration of the Ministry of Home Affairs, and if you qualify for a residential visa, you can have your Tourist Visa transformed into a residential visa. Then you can try to apply for your Work Permit.

Oh, and on a Tourist Visa it clearly states that you are NOT allowed to do ANY kind of work.
