The Immigration Office has scrapped the provision for the tourists traveling to Nepal to carry $200 in cash to pay for their on-arrival visa at the Tribhuvan International Airport for now.

The office had issued a notice a few days ago urging the travelers to carry $200 in cash with them for the on-arrival visa.

The TIA office said that the provision has been scrapped for now following widespread criticism.

General Manager at the TIA Premnath Thakur said that the work of installing the ATM of machine Rastriya Banijaya Bank in the Immigration Office of the airport has already been started and the provision for the travelers to carry cash for on-arrival has been scrapped for now.
