The Nepali Embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has launched an online portal to collect information on Nepali nationals facing difficulties in the country.

Issuing a statement on Tuesday, the embassy requested Nepalis stranded at UAE airports while attempting to return home from various countries to update their details through the portal. It has also urged those wishing to return to Nepal after their UAE visas expired or were cancelled by their employers to register their information.

According to the embassy, the portal is intended to assist individuals who have already booked return tickets but are facing complications due to visa issues or other administrative problems.

The embassy further stated that it has received information indicating that fines will not be imposed on individuals who overstayed after February 28, and concerned persons have been advised to proceed accordingly.

Nepalis seeking assistance have been asked to submit their details through the portal at: https://legal.nepalconsular.gov.np/urgent-rescue.
