Office Responsible for NOC Certificate: NOC Department, Ministry of Education, Keshar Mahal, Kathmandu (Tel.: +977 1 4444705, E-mail: info.noc@moest.gov.np, Web: https://noc.moest.gov.np/)

* Please keep in mind that this No Objection letter is also required to present at the airport so that the student proves that Nepal’s government has no objection in the student’s pursuit of education abroad.

Please bear in mind that there are various restrictions and requirements for Nepalese nationals to avail NOC and consecutive facility to pay tuition fees and living cost. Such restrictions range from minimum GPA, language courses, Japanese language, equivalence certificate (education from another country), country of study, and so on. Additionally, there are fairly more complex requirements for existing medical and healthcare passed outs from Nepal even though they have not been employed. This does not mean that the aspiring students do not get NOC; they just need to prepare the documents mentioned either on https://noc.moest.gov.np/ or later in their online application portal.
