Nepal business and investor visa
Use a business visa when your trip is commercial — company meetings, trade, or investment — rather than tourism. We coordinate the local paperwork and lawyer consultation.

A tourist visa is for holidays and trekking. A business visa is for activity tied to a Nepali company or project. Choosing the wrong category complicates later extensions and work or investment files.
Typical documents
- Invitation or recommendation from a Nepali entity

- Extra FDI or industry papers for investors
Visa FAQ
- What is a Nepal business visa and who needs one?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.
- How does a Nepal work visa work?A Nepal work visa is for foreigners employed by an organization in Nepal. It sits alongside labour-department work permit steps. A tourist visa does not authorize employment, including many remote or “help out at the NGO” arrangements.
- Do I need a visa for Nepal?Yes — if you are not an Indian citizen, you almost always need a visa to enter Nepal. The exact visa depends on why you are going (tourism, business, study, work) and which passport you hold. Many travelers use visa on arrival; some must apply at an embassy first.
