U.S. Citizen Services

The consular section of the Embassy of the United States of America in Kathmandu provides services for American citizens living in or traveling to Nepal. More general information about consular services provided by the Department of State is available at the Bureau of Consular Affairs web site.

In light of the ongoing Maoist insurgency in Nepal, American citizens are encouraged to register with the Embassy. Tourists and residents should regularly check the Embassy's web site for updated security information.

If you are the leader of a discrete group of Americans visiting Nepal (such as a student group, business group, etc.) and would like to have a security issues/consular services briefing for your group, please send an email to consktm@state.gov with your group's information, and we will arrange a program.
