NEPALI GIRL GETS HUMANITARIAN VISA

The Nepalese girl Dipika, who has been living in Nepal with her adoptive mother for years, receives a humanitarian visa for Belgium.

Prime Minister Charles Michel has stated this. The Bruges adoptive mother Bénédicte Van de Sande has been waiting for more than three years in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu for permission to come to our country with Dipika. The woman then went to Nepal with her husband Khatiwada Gyanendra to pick up their child. But the adoption was not recognized.

Husband Khatiwada Gyanendra returned to Bruges, while his wife remains in Kathmandu with daughter Dipika. A support committee was recently set up that asked, among other things, to grant Dipika a humanitarian visa. The severe earthquake in Nepal and the dramatic consequences of that earthquake have now led to the Belgian government granting Dipika a humanitarian visa. The visa is valid for two years and does not rule on the legality of the adoption procedure. That file will be further monitored by the Federal Public Service (FPS) Justice, the Michel cabinet reports.
