KATHMANDU, JANUARY 24
The Immigration Department has rolled out a series of additional regulations for travelers heading abroad in visit and tourist visas beginning today.
According to the Immigration Department, applicants for these visas are now mandated to possess a valid passport with a minimum validity of six months. Moreover, they must furnish essential documents, including the visa for the destination country, round-trip tickets, proof of accommodation for the entire duration of their stay, or citizenship certificates demonstrating a familial relationship if residing with relatives.
In addition to these requirements, those visiting at the invitation of organizations must also submit the invitation letter from the respective entities or must showcase financial capacity by providing evidence of at least $500 in cash or an equivalent amount in debit/credit cards.
For travelers heading to the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, a self declaration form must be completed at the Immigration Office, explicitly stating the purpose of their visit and ensuring that it is voluntary and will not result in overstaying.
