Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) has finally been registered at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) after a decade of its establishment.
The general assembly of NRNA held in Kathmandu on Saturday had decided to amend its statute to comply with the definition of non-resident Nepalis offered by Non-Resident Nepali Act, 2008. With the amendment, one can claim an NRN status only after staying abroad for two years.
After the Act was promulgated by parliament in 2008, NRNs had lobbied for giving Nepalis an NRN status if they stayed abroad for only six months. The issue of registration had been pending for the last five years as the government had refused to register NRNA going against the Act.
