Canberra. The Embassy of Nepal in Canberra, the capital of Australia, has urged the service seekers to pay the government revenue fee in cash for the services provided by the Embassy from November 16, 2026. <\/p>\n
The new payment system that came into effect from October 1 will not allow you to charge extra fees for payments through cards including Visa, MasterCard and AfPay. <\/p>\n
According to the Embassy, this decision has been taken as the embassy will have additional financial burden in the process of returning the revenue after the provision of not charging additional fees for the payment made through cards by the banks and financial institutions. This arrangement is temporary and will remain in force until an alternative payment system is put in place. Meanwhile, some service recipients have said that the embassy’s decision will cause inconvenience. Speaking to Nepal News Bank, Umesh Kumar Gautam, a resident of Wulongong, said that making cash payment mandatory will cause trouble to the service recipients coming from far away. <\/p>\n
‘When the embassy comes from far away, we do not carry cash. It is in a hurry to reach the scheduled time. In such a situation, it becomes more difficult to reach the bank and withdraw cash,” Gautam said. <\/p>\n
He said that it would be difficult to arrange cash payment especially for Nepalis who travel to Canberra from different Australian cities to seek embassy services. <\/p>\n
Until the alternative digital payment system is established, the service recipients have to pay the government fee in cash, so the people going to the embassy have to prepare the necessary amount. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
