International Payment in Nepal

International Payment simply define as the process of buying and selling something from one country to another country where the sender and receiver money are located in two, unlike country. In the context of our country, International Payment is a bit difficult where normal people can’t use this facility. Only precise people have got debit/credit card i.e visa or master card which accept international payment in Nepal. In Nepal International Payment is possible but only certain people have got this facility.
Eligibility for International Payment in Nepal

In Nepal, International Payment can only be done by using USD (United States Dollar) card i.e master card, visa card or American express system. International Payment gateway providers such as Paypal, Payoneer need these cards for payment purposes internationally.

In order to have an international payment acceptance card, we need to have a USD account on the bank. In our country, Bank provides credit cards or debit card but these cards do not accept international payment. Bank provides a visa or master card to that citizen who is a traveler. Bank provides such cards to them based on their passport and by confirming airplane tickets. People who are holding FCY (Foreign Currency) account also can get such cards.

My Opinion on Restricted International Payment System in Nepal

Nepali residence is facing lots of problems due to the unavailability of an international payment system in Nepal. In the matter of payment, the Nepal government should give proper vision on it. People are working Freelancing but they are not able to receive their payment. This problem should be solved. Lots of Nepalese people can get benefits from it.

Online payment gateway of Nepal such as eSewa, Khalti, Ipay should be used internationally. If international payment is accepted from eSewa then we can get lots of advantages. Our government should have a concept of how international payment can help to Nepalese people. I request to the people who are in authority to implement an international payment system. It can be done by making certain rules and regulations. If you all people make effort a to step up together to implement an international payment system in Nepal then surely there will be the facility of international payment systems in Nepal too.
