Nepal Business Investor Visa

Nepal Residency
Pathway overview

At a glance

An accepted investment in a business in Nepal can support a Business Visa that allows repeated entry and can be renewed. You need investment approval and a visa recommendation from the responsible authority; registering a company alone is not enough.

Investment
An accepted investment in an eligible local business
Official support
A recommendation from the industry department or responsible agency
Evidence
Business, tax, investment, and monitoring records

Summary

Nepal’s business visa is for people operating an accepted investment or business activity, supported by company and investment records and a recommendation from the industry department or other responsible agency. Tax and monitoring records support the accepted activity. A short business visit and permission to operate the approved enterprise are different matters.

Could this pathway work for you?

Eligibility

Confirm that foreign investment is allowed in the business activity you plan to pursue. The industry department or other responsible agency must accept the investment and recommend the visa.

Prepare business and tax registration, investment evidence, monitoring records, and current tax clearance. Ask the authority which records demonstrate that your project meets its requirements.

What This Route Allows

This is not a passive bank-deposit route, citizenship, or guaranteed permanent residence.
