No matter whether we like it or not you have to follow the law. There are few choices, either you take it or leave it. There are no other choices here until dual citizenship is provided.
Let's analyze the ground reality here.
a. By Nepalese Citizenship Act, Your Nepalese Citizenship will be void and null immediately once you take Foreign Citizenship whether you renounce it or not.
b. Regarding Department of Immigration- Currently it just track the arrival and departure record and publish it as a monthly report in PDF.

Till now they do not have an working android app from which you can fill the form for on-arrival visa. Their link for android app does not work at all.
Similarly, there is no online system even for paying for visa.

This immigration Department requires massive reform at this point. If there is a good leadership, these portal can be up and running with all features in a month.
c. National Identity Card | Rastriya Parichaya Patra- Think of it as a SSN. The architecture of NIC is to use this unique number to verify you when you go and take any government services. The amount of data they take really scares me. They take biometrics, Digital Signature, Eye Scan and has embedded chips in it. The biggest problem with this is the data security since the data resides outside of Nepal.
1. I believe most of people in Nepal currently give a damn about this card. All they know is they need this NIC number to make a passport. That's it. The government forced it as a mandatory to take this otherwise you would not be able to get a new passport or renew it.
2. Millions of Dollars have been invested in this project since last 7 + years but outcome and implementation is pretty poor. 90% of the Nepalese residents haven't even received the physical card yet. People are waiting from last 3 years but do not have NIC physical card in hand.
3. As Nepalese Government portal are down 90% of the time same applies here. This NIC portal is completely down as we speak now.

Taking these ground reality, Nepalese Government portal with interconnection between all the department is a long way to go until there is some good leaders in Government IT department, My guess is Government does not want to fully digitized and we all know the reasons for that. But if needed these can be interconnected within couple of days by just building an API. I will reconfirm that percentage for the sale of land one more time.
