Women under 40 require a letter, and permission from family to travel abroad: DoI Director Paudel (with audio)
February 11, 2021 11:15 am
KATHMANDu, Feb 11: The Department of Immigration had proposed a brutal policy against women's independent movement -- requiring permit letters from their male counterpart or the head of the family as well as the ward office in order to travel abroad alone unless they are over 40 -- has made some amendments owing to public pressure. The amendments in the Immigration Procedures (no blanket restriction on women's free movement, but this narrowed down to the same age of women heading to the Gulf countries for the first time) have not received praise, the policy makers sound too complacent to make further changes.
