British Gurkhas Nepal

Maintain the Firm Base in Nepal in order to enable Gurkha recruiting and welfare services.

Recruitment

Gurkha Recruitment for the British Army and Gurkha Contingent Singapore Police Force is run by the Recruit Cell in British Gurkhas Pokhara, part of British Gurkhas Nepal.

Gurkha recruiting is Free, Fair and Transparent. Paying money to anyone (Dalals) cannot improve your chance of becoming a Gurkha. All castes, family backgrounds and skin colours can apply from any part of Nepal and have an equal chance of becoming a Gurkha. Everything you need to know about Gurkha Recruiting is on the link below.

BGN Veteran Services

We provide free services and support to Gurkha Veterans and their eligible dependants on issues relating to their records and UK settlement matters in addition to administering pension payments to pensioners on Gurkha Pension Scheme and Gurkha Contingent Singapore Police Force pensioners.

These services are offered through BGN Veteran Service Departments; namely: Gurkha Veterans’ Advice Centres (GVAC) in Kathmandu/ Pokhara/Dharan/Butwal, Darjeeling Veterans’ Advice Centre (DVAC), Gurkha Settlement Office (GSO) in Kathmandu and Records Office in Pokhara.

Important Notice for Pensioners

Due to unreliability of postal services, we have started sending Life Certificates to overseas pensioners through emails and found this method to be very effective.  We are aiming to capture everyone living abroad this way by the end of this year.  Hence, we encourage all pensioners to update their email addresses with us where possible – this will allow us to send pensioners not only the life certificates but also expiry notices in good time. You can also download the form from this website. Pensioners in Nepal are required to visit GVACs for Life Certificate renewals as far as is practicable.
