Nepali Passport Renewal from Abroad
Living or working overseas and your passport is expiring? Here is how Nepalis renew their passport abroad — plus direct guides for the biggest destination countries.
विदेशमा बस्ने नेपालीले दूतावासबाट राहदानी (पासपोर्ट) नवीकरण गर्ने तरिका।
Nepalis abroad renew their passport through the nearest Nepali embassy or consulate. Renewal issues a fresh e-Passport (biometric) — passports are not simply extended. Because applications are processed via Kathmandu, it takes longer than in Nepal, so start 3–4 months before expiry.
General process everywhere: online pre-enrollment for the e-Passport → book an embassy appointment → attend in person for biometrics → submit old passport + citizenship → pay the local-currency fee → collect or receive the new e-Passport once printed in Kathmandu.
