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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.
