The board emphasized that no new restrictions have been imposed on Indian travelers, reaffirming the country’s commitment to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for visitors. A recent digital service has been launched by the Nepali government to streamline the process for foreign tourists arriving by private vehicles. This initiative allows travelers to apply for temporary entry permits and pay required fees online, reducing bureaucratic delays. The customs department under the Ministry of Finance has implemented this digital system to enhance convenience for visitors. The Tourism Board addressed concerns raised by social media platforms and online forums, where false claims about stricter entry rules had spread. Officials clarified that there are no mandatory new documents required for Indian tourists, nor are there any restrictions on staying beyond 30 days. Additionally, the board debunked rumors suggesting that vehicles would be seized if tourists remain in the country for extended periods. The board also highlighted the enduring friendly relations between Nepal and India, noting that the two nations’ open border policy and historical ties remain unchanged. Officials stated that the government is actively working to strengthen cultural and tourism ties between the countries. To prevent the spread of misinformation, the Tourism Board urged media outlets, tourism businesses, and the public to verify information solely through official channels.#nepal #india #ministry_of_finance #nepal_tourism_board #nepal_india_relations
