No More Immigration Office Visits? Nepal Makes Foreign Travel Records Available Through Nagarik App

KATHMANDU, NEPAL, SEPTEMBER 11, 2026

Travel History Now Available Through Nagarik App

The Department of Immigration has introduced a new digital service allowing Nepali citizens to receive their international travel details through the Nagarik App, according to a notice issued by the department. The facility provides access to citizens’ international arrival and departure records and was introduced with the goal of making immigration services more secure, organised and technology-friendly.

With the new system, citizens no longer need to visit the Department of Immigration physically or submit manual applications to obtain their foreign travel records.

End of Physical Application Process

Previously, people requiring their foreign travel history had to approach the Immigration Department and complete a physical application process. The department said this often created additional procedural difficulties for service seekers and increased workload for government offices.

The new digital process is expected to reduce these challenges by allowing citizens to request their records through an online platform.

How the New Service Works

The travel details available through the Nagarik App are connected with the user’s passport information. The department said this verification process will help ensure that the records are provided to the correct individual.

Citizens will be able to access their international movement details, including records of arrivals and departures, through the application.

Verified Records Can Be Used Officially

Immigration Department spokesperson Tikaram Dhakal said the travel records obtained through the Nagarik App can be used as an official source by individuals, institutions and organisations that require verified foreign travel information.

The move is expected to simplify processes where citizens previously had to collect immigration records directly from government offices.

How to Access Foreign Travel History Through Nagarik App

Citizens can now access their international arrival and departure records digitally through the Nagarik App instead of visiting the Department of Immigration. The process requires users to verify their identity through the information linked with their government records, including passport details.

The general process includes:

1. Update Nagarik App

Users should ensure they have the latest version of the Nagarik App installed on their mobile device through the Play Store or App Store.

2. Log Into Nagarik App

Open the application and log in using the registered mobile number. Users may need to complete identity verification if requested by the system.

3. Access Immigration Service

After logging in, users can go to the available government services section and look for the immigration-related service providing foreign travel details or international arrival and departure records.

4. Complete Identity Verification

The system verifies the user's identity through linked information, including passport details. The Department of Immigration said the passport-based verification system helps ensure that travel records are provided only to the concerned individual.

5. View International Travel Records

After successful verification, users can access their international movement details, including arrival and departure records maintained by immigration authorities.

6. Use the Digital Record

The Department of Immigration has stated that the travel details obtained through the Nagarik App can be used as an official source by individuals, institutions and organisations requiring verified foreign travel information.

Saving Citizens’ Time and Cost

The Department of Immigration said the digital service will help save citizens’ time and expenses by removing the need for physical visits and paperwork.

Officials also expect the system to reduce administrative pressure on the department by shifting the service delivery process to a digital platform.

Focus on Secure Digital Government Services

The introduction of immigration records through Nagarik App is part of Nepal’s wider effort to expand digital access to government services.

By bringing important official records online, authorities aim to make public services easier to access while reducing dependence on traditional paper-based procedures.

Why This Service Matters

Foreign travel records are often required for different purposes, including employment, education, legal procedures, and official verification.

Making these details available digitally can make such processes faster for citizens while ensuring that verified information is provided through an official government channel.
