The Department of Immigration in Nepal has launched a new digital visa application system aimed at reducing wait times, increasing transparency, and simplifying the documentation process for foreigners and returning NRNs (Non-Resident Nepalis). The initiative is a part of Nepal’s broader digitization policy that promotes e-governance and service efficiency.
Visa Processing Goes Digital
The new system enables applicants to submit digital forms, upload necessary documents, and track application status in real-time. It also allows consultancies and visa experts to register as third-party service providers for streamlining bulk or complex applications. This system is especially beneficial for international students, remote workers, and foreign investors aiming to enter Nepal through structured pathways.
Why This Matters for Professionals and Businesses
For foreign clients and international organizations seeking to send employees or collaborators to Nepal, the new online process reduces friction and increases planning efficiency. It eliminates the need for repeated visits and manual documentation.
Consulting firms offering visa services can now integrate with the system, offering smoother and faster services to their clients while maintaining compliance. It’s a win-win move that modernizes mobility and builds confidence in Nepal’s institutional frameworks.
