Nepal launched the Foreign Nationals Management Information System (FNMIS) on January 1, 2026, a digital platform tracking foreign visitors from visa application to departure.
Initially deployed in star-rated hotels in the Kathmandu Valley, it requires registration by tourism service providers, with 1,416 hotels, travel agencies, and money exchangers enrolled by launch day.
The system aims to enhance safety, prevent crimes like scams and unauthorized religious activities, and improve emergency response, especially in remote areas.
Expansion begins March 1, covering all star-rated hotels, airlines, tour operators, and money exchangers nationwide, with a full rollout planned for all accommodations and service providers.
Authorities say it ensures visa compliance and strengthens visitor management, though concerns about data privacy and impacts on budget travelers persist.
