67 Nepalis die in Japan in over ten months, 25 by suicide

Most victims were student visa holders engaged in work, as rising costs, loan pressure and weak support systems fuel concern over mental health and labour oversight.

As many as 67 Nepali citizens have died in Japan over the over ten months, including 25 suicides, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Most of the deceased were individuals who had travelled on student visas and were also working part-time.
