Kathmandu. The government has started an online service to facilitate Indian tourists and tourists from other countries coming to Nepal via India. The Department of Customs under the Ministry of Finance has developed a system that allows foreign vehicles entering Nepal via land route to fill in details and pay revenue online. 

During a program of this system, Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle has started. With the introduction of the new system, Indian tourists and tourists from third countries will be able to pay their details and revenue online with vehicles . 

Earlier, such vehicles had to obtain a temporary permit at the customs checkpoint. Also, during the trip to Nepal, if the travel period was over, they had to go to the customs point for renewal or pay a fine. 

However, with the introduction of the new online system, tourists entering Nepal can now fill up their vehicle license online from home and pay online to visit Nepal without any hassle.

Finance Minister Dr. Khatiwada inaugurating new online facilitation service Wagle said that the problems faced by tourists in the border areas will now be removed. “This has been initiated as part of the implementation of the government’s agenda of good governance and providing efficient quality public services. “Tourists should not face any difficulties,” he said. We want government services to be quick and efficient. ’

Inaugurating the new system, Director General of the Department of Customs, Shyam Prasad Mainali, said that the license of foreign vehicles carrying tourists entering Nepal has now become digital.According to him, passengers entering Nepal and tourists will now be able to self-declare the details of foreign vehicles to be used online. This will make the process more transparent and effective. Such tourist vehicles can also pay the revenue to the Government of Nepal online or through bank counters.

According to Mainali, vehicles who have paid online can enter Nepal by showing the QR code received in their email at the customs.According to the department, tourist vehicles can reach their destination by carrying the QR . According to the Department, such vehicles will be able to extend the travel period online from their respective Nepal address even if their travel period expires. 

To avail all these services, you have to go to the website of the Department of Customs and click on the title TIV in the title of our services and the details can be filled online. After updating all the details, the customer finally gets a QR code that opens all the details. On the basis of this, vehicles can enter Nepal by paying the fees they have to pay. Such vehicles can travel on the roads of Nepal if they show the same QR code. 

According to the Department, the Temporary Vehicle Import (TIV) module has been developed to facilitate foreign nationals entering Nepal through the Nepal National Single Door System.The Department of Customs has clarified that this service has been implemented for vehicles used by Indian and third country tourists entering Nepal. According to the Department, tourists with Chinese vehicles are not allowed to enter Nepal via the Chinese border point and this service is available for them as well.
