Rs. 1 million annual income must to get visit visa

The Phadindra Mani Pokhrel-led task force has made it mandatory to have annual taxable income of at least Rs. 1 million to be eligible to fly abroad, especially to Gulf countries under visit visa. The provision is, however, not applicable to those who have their family members living in the destination countries. “Family members of those persons can fly abroad to meet them without any hassle, and this procedure will be verified through the citizenship certificates and their relationship,” Joint Secretary Pokhrel, coordinator of the task force, said.
