Gen-Z movement stains int’l image as Nepalis face visa restrictions

KATHMANDU, Sept 27: The Gen-Z movement in Nepal has left a mark on the country’s international image. Following the Gen-Z protests and violent demonstrations on September 8 and 9, Gulf countries, Malaysia, and European nations have reportedly become hesitant to issue visas to Nepalis. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), a primary destination for Nepalis, has reportedly stopped issuing visas, prompting other Gulf countries and Malaysia to follow suit. Alongside the country’s unrest, foreigners have also hesitated to grant visas to Nepalis.
