Nepal is seeking India’s acceptance of its National Identity (NID) card as a valid travel document for Nepalese citizens crossing the border. Officials from Nepal’s Department of Immigration recently engaged in discussions with representatives from the Indian Embassy regarding this request. The Indian side reportedly responded positively to Nepal’s proposal, signaling potential progress in easing travel between the two nations. Currently, Nepalese citizens rely on passports or other designated travel documents for entry into India. Recognition of the NID card would streamline border crossings and facilitate easier movement for individuals traveling for work, education, or personal reasons. This development reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral ties and enhance cross-border convenience for Nepali citizens. Further details and a formal agreement are anticipated following the initial positive response.
