Summary
The U.S. is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for people from Nepal starting August 5, 2025. This means Nepali nationals with TPS will lose their special protection and must adjust their status or leave. The decision comes after reviewing conditions in Nepal and will affect those currently living and working in the U.S. under TPS.

TPS for Nepal Ends August 5, 2025
If you are a Nepali national (or a person with no nationality who last lived in Nepal) with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), your TPS ends on August 5, 2025. The designation of Nepal was set to expire on June 24, 2025, and after August 5, 2025 you will no longer have TPS; you will need to seek another immigration status or depart the United States. This change follows a DHS review finding Nepal no longer meets the conditions for TPS.
