Nepalis in Malaysia renew their passport through the Embassy of Nepal in Kuala Lumpur. Renewal issues a brand-new e-Passport — it is not just an extension. Applications are processed via Kathmandu, so it takes longer than in Nepal; start 3–4 months before expiry.

Where: the Embassy of Nepal in Kuala Lumpur, in Kuala Lumpur. Check the mission's official website/notices for the current appointment system, opening hours and exact fee in MYR.

Step-by-Step

  1. Complete the online pre-enrollment for the e-Passport and note your application number.
  2. Book an appointment with the Embassy of Nepal in Kuala Lumpur (many missions use an online booking system).
  3. Attend in person — biometrics (photo, fingerprints, signature) must be captured at the mission.
  4. Submit your old passport and citizenship (originals + copies), plus your Malaysia residence permit/visa if requested.
  5. Pay the fee in MYR as set by the mission.
  6. Collect or receive your new e-Passport once it is printed in Kathmandu and returned.
