The Nepali Embassy in Doha has advised Nepali nationals residing in Qatar to obtain a tourist visa if they plan to travel to Nepal via airports in Saudi Arabia in light of the current situation in the Middle East.

The embassy urged Nepali citizens holding a valid residence permit in Qatar and intending to transit through Saudi airports while returning to Nepal to apply for a Saudi tourist visa in advance.

According to the embassy, applicants must book an appointment and submit their tourist visa application through the Tasheer Saudi Visa Service Centre, located at Ezdan Mall in Al Gharafa, Doha.

The embassy further stated that Nepali travellers should complete the required visa procedures before undertaking their journey to avoid inconvenience during transit.
