Overview

• The Department of Homeland Security will terminate TPS for Nepal on August 5, 2025, following a 60-day notice period.
• About 12,700 Nepalese nationals currently hold TPS, with around 5,500 already permanent residents and roughly 7,000 facing departure or status adjustment.
• Secretary Kristi Noem cited substantial reconstruction and improved environmental disaster preparedness since the 2015 quake as the basis for ending the program.
• This move follows recent TPS revocations for Venezuelans, Haitians, Afghans and Cameroonians under President Trump’s broader rollback of immigration protections.
• The U.S. State Department continues to advise Level 2 travel caution for Nepal over ongoing political violence risks.
