The department had suspended visa services on August 10 after one of its staffs tested positive for Covid-19. “The resumption of visa services will basically benefit the foreigners who have been staying in Nepal even during the current pandemic,” Ram Chandra Tiwari, information officer at the department told Xinhua on Saturday. “We will also provide a visa on arrival services to the foreigners at the airport.”According to the department, over 10,000 foreign passport holders are still staying in Nepal. The immigration department said it would regulate the visa of foreigners till September 27 without any fee or penalty considering the impact of pandemic. “But others can get visa renewal till December 15 by paying regular tourist visa fee,” said the department.
