MoFA urges to cancel bank defaulters' visa

Ministry for Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has sent a list of 80 businessmen blacklisted for non-payment of bank loans to the foreign embassies in Kathmandu requesting them to cancel visa issued to them because their passports have been declared null and void.

“The list of 80 people have come to us from the protocol section of the ministry, and once the passports are declared null and void, the visa also becomes null and void,” The Himalayan Times daily quoted an official at the American Embassy as saying.

The decision was taken by the Ministry of Finance about a month ago to cancel the passports of bank defaulters.
