Nepal Investor Residential Visa

Nepal Residency
Pathway overview

At a glance

An approved investment in an industrial business in Nepal can support a Residential Visa. Two official sources describe the financial requirement differently, so confirm the amount and transfer method before moving money.

Amount
Immigration says USD $100,000; Industry says more than USD $100,000
Approvals
The required recommendation and Home Ministry approval

Summary

Nepal has a residential category connected to an approved industrial investment. The applicant needs both the responsible agency’s recommendation and Home Ministry approval, supported by the investment records. Because the official agencies phrase the minimum differently, settle the required amount and transfer method before committing the funds.

Immigration describes the threshold as USD $100,000, while the industry authority describes more than that amount. The application also needs the responsible agency’s recommendation and Home Ministry approval, so a completed transfer alone does not establish permission to reside.

Could this pathway work for you?

Eligibility

Immigration lists a USD $100,000 investment threshold. The industry department says more than USD $100,000 brought in at one time in convertible currency—foreign currency accepted for conversion.

Ask both agencies to confirm how those rules apply to your investment. Do not assume that an exact USD $100,000 transfer is enough.

The industrial project must qualify, and you need company, industry, tax, investment, and share records. Obtain the required recommendation and Home Ministry approval.

Applying through an industrial investment in Nepal
  1. Resolve the amount and transfer requirements Confirm the different official wording with Immigration and Industry.
  2. Document the project and obtain the recommendation Prepare company, investment, tax, and share records.
  3. Complete the government review If approved, follow the actual visa term and renewal requirements.

Confirm the exact threshold and transfer rules before committing funds.

What This Route Allows

Approval gives residence permission under the investor category. The industry department describes grants for one year at a time; follow the term and renewal conditions actually issued.

What This Route Is Not

This is separate from Nepal’s Business Visa. It is not citizenship or an unconditional permanent right to stay, and it does not make an otherwise ineligible investment qualify.

Next Steps

  1. Confirm the project, amount, currency, and transfer structure with both agencies.
  2. Prepare the company, investment, tax, and share records and obtain the recommendation.
  3. Complete the Home Ministry and immigration review, then follow the approved renewal conditions.
