UAEमा बस्ने नेपालीले दूतावासबाट राहदानी नवीकरण गर्ने तरिका।
Nepalis in the UAE renew their passport through the Embassy of Nepal in Abu Dhabi (and the Consulate General in Dubai). 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 Abu Dhabi (and the Consulate General in Dubai), in Abu Dhabi. Check the mission's official website/notices for the current appointment system, opening hours and exact fee in AED.
Step-by-Step
- Complete the online pre-enrollment for the e-Passport and note your application number.
- Book an appointment with the Embassy of Nepal in Abu Dhabi (and the Consulate General in Dubai) (many missions use an online booking system).
- Attend in person — biometrics (photo, fingerprints, signature) must be captured at the mission.
- Submit your old passport and citizenship (originals + copies), plus your the UAE residence permit/visa if requested.
- Pay the fee in AED as set by the mission.
- Collect or receive your new e-Passport once it is printed in Kathmandu and returned.
Documents Checklist
- Old passport (original + copy).
- Citizenship certificate (original + copy).
- Online application / pre-enrollment number.
- The UAE residence permit / visa / ID copy if requested.
