Nepal business visa
A Nepal business visa is for foreigners visiting or staying for commercial purposes — meetings, trade, company setup, or investment — not for tourism and not by itself a work permit for a local salary job. Immigration expects a clear business purpose and supporting letters from a Nepali company or project.
When to use a business visa instead of a tourist visa
Use a tourist visa for holidays. Use a business visa when you are representing a company, negotiating contracts, exploring FDI, or staying in connection with a registered Nepali business. Using the wrong category can cause problems at extension or if you later apply for work or investment status.
Documents commonly requested
- Passport with sufficient validity
- Invitation or recommendation from a Nepali company, chamber, or government office
- Company registration / PAN / tax documents of the local entity
- Cover letter stating purpose and intended stay
- Photos and completed immigration forms
Investors may need additional FDI or industry-department steps. Our business visa assistance pairs you with a verified lawyer and a document checklist before you file.
Visa fees, eligible nationalities, and forms change. Confirm current rules with the Department of Immigration Nepal or a Nepali embassy before you travel. Lingo and Landscapes helps with documentation and lawyer-guided applications; we do not issue visas.
