The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nepal has issued a travel advisory urging Nepali nationals to exercise extreme caution in light of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.

Citing the fast evolving and volatile security situation, the ministry has called on Nepalis currently residing in Israel and Iran to stay indoors except for essential movement and to follow the safety advisories issued by the host governments.

According to the advisory, Nepali nationals in the war-torn countries are also advised to regularly follow security updates from Israeli and Iranian authorities, maintain close contact with the Nepali community and the Nepali Embassy in Tel Aviv.

They are also urged to register their personal details via an online link provided on the websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Consular Services, and the Nepali Embassy for tracking and emergency assistance purposes.

For those currently in Nepal and planning to travel to Israel, Iran, or other Middle East countries for any purposes, the government has strongly advised against such travel until the situation stabilises.

The advisory adds that while all Nepali citizens in the region are currently reported safe, the government is monitoring the situation closely and will take appropriate steps for their protection if necessary.

The ministry also noted that since air routes in and out of Israel and Iran may be disrupted, any Nepalis wishing to voluntarily return home may need to transit through a third country. In such cases, they are advised to obtain a transit visa in advance, and the government will coordinate efforts to facilitate safe return where possible.

Further updates and guidance will be made available through official channels, including the ministry’s website www.mofa.gov.np, the advisory said.
