Regarding on arrival visa open and quarantine removed
In this regard, we all know that the world has been affected by the Corona epidemic which has been spreading globally for a long time. From the time of this epidemic, the world has now received some relief. Keeping this in mind, the Government of Nepal has done a remarkable job in mobilizing the tourism sector for some time, highlighting the struggle and hard work of all tourism-related umbrella organizations including the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAN) to open on arrival visas and remove quarantine system. The government’s decision to open on-arrival visas and remove the quarantine system is truly commendable. The Government of Nepal has issued the following order to manage the movement of Nepalese and foreigners coming to Nepal from abroad without adversely affecting the prevention, control, diagnosis, and treatment of covid infection.
