It's true .. according to Nepalese law.. a Nepali citizen cannot hold another citizenship.. if you have US citrizen or other country's .. then Nepali law expect you to surrender your nepali citizenship.. which means surrendering your passport and nagarikata... but not many have done it so.. probably, Upendra Mahato has surrendered and other NRNs who are rich.

By law, if you are reported to be holding two citizenshps and then Nepal Govt decided to take action, you could be put into Nepalese jail for 20 years... That's a law. Yeah, the punishment sounds very tough... don't know why they put such law in place.. perhaps without thinking much about it.... but so far, none of such individuals have been prosecuted.

If you have parental properties to be anshabandha in Nepal.. and if you have your brothers and bahujus.. then be careful with those bahujus.. they are the ones who would probably jump into reporting your status in order to strip you from your properties. I know this is a big hassle.... that's why now NRN is fighting for dual-citizenships so that they can get their share of the parental properties in Nepal. This is one of the biggest reason why NRN members are so actively fighting thorugh various associations... otherwise, no one would be joining NRN associations, believe me.

But as an NRN, you can still keep a piece of land, area dependent on where (Kathmandu, mountain or teria) and probably a small house. But to make it legitimate, you need to have NRN card, again to do this you have to surrender your nagarikata.

So far, foreign citizenship holder are still going to Nepal using foreign pasport.. Nepali passport cannot be used.. coz once they enter Nepal with Nepali passport, they cannot fly back. They are trapped in Nepal. But still buying/selling properties in maalpot offices in Nepal using their nepali nagarikata is ongoing... Well, until someone reports/complains... this seems OK.. but as I said earlier, when time comes, your own relatives will report against you when they see the opportunity of your property automatically transferred to them (aputali case).

My advice is this:

Try to go now and try to get your chunk of share with amicable negotiation with your brothers through anshbandha, After that. you could sell your properties and bring your money back to USA. In that way you will have no tension left regarding properties issues.

In my case.. I am not going to claim anything.... and not going to ask anything... it's up to them what they want to give me.
