Ohio,
Thanks for sharing some good reaearch. I was aware of inefficiency in implementing the technology and had some 1st hand experience too while applying for my parents NIC in Nepal few months ago. However, just because the technology hasnt caught up yet doesnt mean it will nver catch up in the future as well. Specially when we are talking about land and other asset where we normally plan out things for decades or even for next generation.
Also maybe the overall all technology might take time or lets say not even possible for Nepal but lets not forget it is very effective if the search is done in individual level. If somone files a complain against you or there is a case in the court then Nepal immigration can easily find your foreign passport in their records. Doesnt matter if they use databse or filp some old files somewhere (dhadda paltaunay) but it can be produced in few days.
If it's only for getting cheap flight rates etc in Nepal it might not hurt but if you have some properties and some clever enemies then i wouldn't take the risk. It's like almost everyone speed up beyond speed limit and most of the times get away with it as well, however, that doesn't mean the speed limit doesnt exist or dont apply. Similarly most may get away using their old Nepali ctzp but the fact is it is illegal and can invite some serious consequences.
It seems that this nrn card is a copy paste of oci card from India with some minor differences. I personally dont think that Nepal will give full dual citizenship in my lifetime aince India hasnt either. It sad but seems true that these politicians dont have any vision to see beyond india. I personally have to take this cizp because i have some land disputes if it wasnt for that reason i wouldnt bother either.
