Almirah, I do not know the answer of your question. I have never made a labor permit, but I have my trouble-experience to share.

I had to show my passport to an officer at the airport before boarding into the plane. That was the final check point. The officer was slowly turning the pages in the passport. He spent about 3 minutes to scroll a couple of pages. Then he spoke

Of: tapaiko aru document khoi?
me: kun document?
Of: yo passport tapaiko ho bhanne dekhaune document?
me: passport ma mero photo chha ni, ma yehi chhu ta,
Of: photo herera hudaina, tapai kahan jaana lagya?
me: amerika, naagarikata herna khojnu bhayeko ho?
Of: haina, ke garna jaane amerika? padhna?
me: haina, kaam garna.
Of: work permit chha ta?
me: kasto work permit? (I was surprised by this question)
Of: arkaako deshma tesai kaam garna jaana painchha? work permit chaiyena?
me: working visa ho ni mero, yi yo hernus.
Of: yelle hudaina bhai, work permit paper pani chainchha.
me: (I got little tensed, but controlled myself) tapaile khojeko ke ho maile bujhya chhaina, khulasta bhannus, Hernus, malai kaam dine, talab dine, visa dine tapai hoina, kaam dinele appointment letter diyeko chha, tyo deshle visa pani diyeko chha, tei visa work permit ho, working visa ho haina bhanera immigrationmaa uniharule check garihaalchha, hoina bhane malai firta pathaihalchha, feri tapai work permit khoi bhanera sodhya sodhyei.

Then another officer appeared there.
Of2: ke bho?
Of: kaam garna jaana laagya re, work permit nai chhaina rahechha, pathauna mildaina.
Of2: khai ? (he looked in the visa stamp and turned to me), kun desh jaane?

(Then their face changed, The Of2 took the passport and checked from top to bottom. He tried to read everything in the Visa-stamp).

Of: Lau jaanus shuvayatra, next time aauda workpermit paper euta chai banai rakhnus.

In the plane, I learned that people paid 2000 to 3000 to get the letter through brokers. The labor permit rule was put to prevent sending disqualified manpower to countries like Malaysia, Korea, Qatar and other middle east region, but it now has turned to be the milking-cow for the corrupt officers and brokers.
