<h1>Federation urges Parliament to adopt Overseas Mobility (Facilitation & Welfare) Bill, 2025 with reforms protecting migrant workers</h1> An industry federation representing licensed overseas recruitment agencies urged Parliament to adopt reforms in the draft Overseas Mobility (Facilitation & Welfare) Bill, 2025, proposing measures to modernize migration governance and protect migrant workers while preserving legitimate recruitment business. Key proposals include automatic transition of existing agent licences into the new placement-agency regime with a 12-18 month grace period; mandatory electronic registration for all citizens travelling abroad for employment, internships, and training; preventing monopolistic control of government-to-government recruitment through open empanelment; a proportionate penalty scheme distinguishing administrative and criminal breaches with due process; and establishing a regional mobility and welfare centre in a major western port city.
