Welcome

German Embassy Kathmandu

Welcome - Herzlich Willkommen!

The German Embassy in Kathmandu has been informed that, effective January 21, 2022, a number of new public health measures will go into effect in Nepal, requiring inter alia proof of COVID-19 vaccination by all persons in certain public spaces, including restaurants, government offices, and airports - even if they present a negative PCR test. This will effectively preclude unvaccinated adults from air travel out of or within Nepal. New regulations are expected in the coming days that will clarify immigration rules. These are expected to state that unvaccinated persons age 18 years and older will NOT be permitted entry into or exit from Nepal, effective January 21, regardless of visa or COVID test result status.

Travelers and residents currently in Nepal and unvaccinated against COVID-19 are strongly urged to consider either receiving a WHO-approved vaccine or departing Nepal before January 21, if they are considering travel out of Nepal in the near future. Religious, medical, and other exemptions may ultimately be available, but have not been authorized at this time. Visa overstay fines are not expected to be tolled for those unable to depart after January 21 due to lack of vaccination; all fines must be paid before departing Nepal.

Willkommen to the homepage of the German Embassy in Kathmandu!

The Federal Republic of Germany has been maintaining an Embassy in Kathmandu since 1963, after diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Nepal had been formally established in 1958. The close and friendly partnership that evolved between our two countries has an even longer history going way back into the 19th century. Today, Germany is not only Nepal's third-largest trading partner, it also ranks among the most important bilateral donors. Furthermore there is a multi-facetted network of contacts at personal and NGO levels firmly in place, complementing the excellent official relations.

Your possible contribution towards expanding this network by becoming a part of it is more than welcome. Thank you for your visit.

Germany and Nepal will further deepen their partnership based on shared values: democracy, individual freedom and a just and equitable society that is also sensitive to environment conservation and climate change.
