Nepal has once again restarted issuing on-arrival visas to tourists. The country had previously shut down the visa issuance to curb the spread of coronavirus in the country.

This is good news for all, as tourism is one of Nepal’s most significant revenue streams.

The incumbent administration stated that fully vaccinated people entering Nepal via Tribhuvan International Airport and other entry points should get the visa on their arrival.

However, the catch is that the tourists from the approved countries should have completed their vaccination at least 14 days before they set foot in Nepal.

Nepal Passport Visa

The tourists have to furnish the required evidence, which ranges from a negative coronavirus report not older than 72 hours from the arrival time, and they ought to display the Nepal hotel reservation confirmation.

Apart from the on-arrival visas, should one want the visa before the arrival, they ought to visit the Nepali embassy and complete the required vaccinations before obtaining the visa.

Travelers who are yet to get vaccinated completely can also come to Nepal. However, they have to apply for the visas before their arrival through travel agents. Then, after arriving in Nepal, they have to quarantine themselves for ten days.

Here’s the complete government order:

The Nepali Government has introduced a digital visa system, replacing its 45-year-old hand-written visa regime.

Deputy PM Bishnu Prasad Paudel launched the new visa system under which visas are generated digitally leveraging data from the integrated information system of the Department of Immigration (DoI).

Moreover, the system itself produces visa numbers, and three visas can be accommodated on a single page of a passport.

“The digital visa system would make Nepali visas more credible and help ensure national security,” said Puadel.

According to DoI, the digital visa comes with state-of-art features, including hologram, watermarks and QR code. Scanning of QR code reveals the details of the visa enabling authorities which helps in determining the authenticity of the visa. As the digital systems generate visas, any scope for tempering is ciphered.

“With the new system, the security and management of visas are expected to be strengthened,” said DoI Information Officer Jhanka Nath Dhakal.

“Currently, we issue visas by writing manually on a printed copy of visa sticker, and such visa is pasted on the passport of foreigners. Under the new system, nothing should be done manually to issue the visa,” he added.

Nepal Passport Visa

Dhakal also anticipated that the new system would pave the way for e-visas in the future.

On the same day, the Immigration Department issued over 150 digital visas to foreigners. Tenzing Norbu Lama of Portugal is the first to receive such a visa.

However, the Department started the digital system only at its headquarters in Kalikasthan. It aims to expand the service to Tribhuvan International Airport and all other offices within the first four months of the upcoming FY 2021-22.

Based on the government’s recommendation, President Bidhya Devi Bhandari issued an ordinance on Sunday to amend the Nepali Citizenship Act.

The new ordinance Nepali Citizenship Act allows the kids born in Nepal and Nepali mothered kids, borne out of wedlock with non-Nepali husbands, to become citizens of Nepal.

Due to the prevailing federal law, some of the children couldn’t obtain citizenship despite being born in Nepal. Although the Supreme Court had previously ordered the government to grant Nepali citizenship to kids born to Nepali citizens, the chief district officers were compelled to ignore this directive as there was no change in the federal law.

With this ordinance, those kids will now obtain Nepali citizenship. This welcome ordinance was recommended by the Mahantha Thakur-Rajendra Mahato faction of the Janata Samajbadi Party-Nepal. The same faction promised Prime Minister Oli on Friday to help him form a new government.

The bill was tabled and discussed in the parliament for two years. However, it was not passed as the parliamentarians had differing views about the bill. The aspect where the members of the parliament diverged upon was the waiting period for naturalized citizenship for non-Nepali women married to Nepali spouses.

Bidhya Devi Bhandari

Surendra Kumar Mahto, a senior advocate, said that the ordinance made the Citizenship Act consistent with the constitution of Nepal.

However, advocate Mohan Kumar tempered the optimism of the affected people by indicating that the applicants might face other difficulties. The advocate hinted that the chief district officers may find some other route to delay the citizenship grant. He further cautioned that the ordinance would become invalid after six months. “Somebody can file a case and the court may halt the distribution of the citizenship as per the ordinance,” he said. He commented that the Prime Minister’s party was the primary impediment to the passage of the new citizenship bill.

Province 2 Chief Attorney Dipendra Jha echoed the same sentiment as Mohan, saying, “It depends on how honestly CDOs implement the act.”

As India’s COVID-19 crisis continues to spiral out of control, many countries across the world have completely banned the entry of travelers from India.

India set another world record of 386,888 new Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours, taking the country’s total infections to 18,754,984. This is the seventh day in a row that India topped 300,000 daily cases.

Currently, there are 3,172,906 active cases, while 3,172,906 patients have recovered successfully. With 3,501 new deaths, the country’s death toll reached 208,313.

Owing to the overwhelming rise in infection cases, many countries, including the US, the UK, Kuwait, France, Canada, Maldives, Germany, Italy, Bangladesh, Netherlands, and Australia, have temporarily banned the entry of travelers from India.

India and Nepal

Lately, Nepal has joined the list and banned transit movement from India starting from April 28, 2021, until further notice.

The Nepali Government has come up with this decision as many Indian citizens have been using Nepal as a transit point to travel to third countries that have banned India.

“The arrival of foreigners intending to travel to third countries via Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and using TIA as transit airport will be restricted from April 28, 2021 midnight till the next notice,” said the notice issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs of Nepal.

However, travelers arriving in Nepal as the final destination and departing from Nepal will be allowed as usual.
