Hi all,
I have heard some rumors about dual citizenship for NRN but I dont think its going to take effect in near future, rather say, i dont even know if its gonna happen and completely unaware of what they are doing.
I am holding 2 passport at this time and visiting Nepal pretty soon. I was wondering if anybody knows if i still could use my Nepalese passport while entering Nepal. If thts not the case, does anybody know how much money is required to pay @ nepal airport while entering with US passport?
Awaiting decent replies
Thanks in Advance !!!

Soul survivor,
Even though you may have Nepalese Soul, you are american. You may be arrested if you try to enter Nepal with Nepalese passport. Be careful! You can exit TIA only if they grant you a visa!!!!
Best of luck

Think about it, dude. If you enter Nepal with Nepali passport - which is illegal, by the way, because the moment you accept another country's citizenship, your Nepali citizenship gets automatically revoked (whether Nepali government knows or not is another story) - are you going to get a visa to come back to the States because you will not be able to use your American passport to leave Nepal due to the absence of visa entry in it.

Depending on the length of your stay, visa cost is around $25 to $40, I think. And it takes about half an hour or less to stand in the line and wait for your turn in immigration. Ask around to make sure that you have filled out all the right forms available at the airport.

Just get your Nepali Visa upon landing at TIA and you'll be fine.

soul_survivor, like Churse said; legally you are an American citizen. You must use your American passport whenever you travel and you will be safe. The moment you use your Nepali passport; it will be 100 % illegal and you will be in trouble big time. It is good to be smart but never try to be too smart by doing anything illegal. Let's not forget our old saying: "लाटो खान्छ एक बल ड्यांग, बाठो खान्छ तिन बल ड्यांग " Thanks

Like rebelcmx said use your US passport; pay fees, get visa, conduct your and come back simple! Why would you want to use your Nepali passport and do something illegal to put yourself into trouble.

Hi,
As many users have already suggested, you have to use your American Passport.
1. All US citizens are required to travel with American Passport, regardless of the number of other citizenships you hold.
2. It is more of a LOGICAL quest:
If you enter Nepal with Nepali passport, Fine! But when you exit what will be your proof to show that you can leave Nepal to come to the States? Your American Passport right! Ah..Ha... now you show your American Passport, Nepal immigration will seek to see a visa, in which case you'd have none. So, bottom line is you have to enter with American Passport.
3. Nepal has a very easy system. Check with the Nepal Embassy Website. You can apply for the visa and will be granted in TIA or you can apply directly with the Embassy here in the States via mail. The amount varies depending on the number of days. I think the cheapest is 15 days, then 30 or 45 days (i forgot, you can check this info in the website) and the most expensive is for 3 months. The fees are payable in US dollars (Dollar Bills) at the port of entry or the embassy. I do not know if TIA accept NRS but I have always paid with USD without any problem. Just have the exact change ready.
Have a great trip and I hope this was helpful. If you are still confused call the Nepalese consulate in New York, they will answer your queries without hesitation.
