Buy a domain with eSewa or Khalti, no dollar card needed

Most domain registrars abroad want a dollar card or PayPal. TLD Nepal bills in rupees, so you can pay for a .com with eSewa, Khalti or a bank transfer like any other local purchase, with no VAT added on top.

Why paying abroad is hard from Nepal

GoDaddy, Namecheap and other international registrars charge in US dollars. Paying them from Nepal means a dollar-denominated card, and the prepaid dollar card that Nepali banks issue under Nepal Rastra Bank rules has a yearly limit (USD 500 for most people) that also has to cover every other online purchase.

Then the bank's exchange rate and card fees are added, and renewal next year is charged again in dollars at whatever the rate is then.
