Emigration of Nepalis to foreign countries to seek livelihoods, or in search of knowledge, skills, training and professional opportunities, has been an undeniable fact. With the lack of economic as well as educational opportunities in Nepal, the trend of emigration out of Nepal will continue for a foreseeable future. According to the Nepalese Ministry of Labor and Transportation Management about 656 Nepalis leave Nepal on a daily basis to seek employment abroad with official permission from the Ministry. Emigration via India is still unaccounted for because of the open border.1 An estimated 300,000 Nepalis have settled in U.S.A, Canada, Wester Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other developed countries.2 Acquiring citizenship of the adopted country becomes almost a necessity for various practical considerations-enjoy privileges of employment, education with ease, participate in various activities, enjoy privileges for children, enjoy social benefits, pensions, ease of travel, etc. The term Non-Resident Nepali ("NRN") refers to Nepalis who live in foreign lands who once held Nepali citizenship. Another term Persons of Nepali Origin ("PNO") refers to people who are born outside Nepal and can prove Nepali origin at least one generation before.
