Relation (Dependent) Visa
Family
For you if you have a close family member in Nepal: the Relation Visa lets relatives of a Nepali citizen, or dependents of certain visa holders, stay on the basis of the family relationship.
Business Visa (foreign investors and representatives)
Investor / investment
For you if you are an approved foreign investor or business representative in Nepal: the Business Visa is the long-stay route for people investing in or running an approved business, granted on a recommendation from the relevant authority.
Non-Resident Nepali (NRN) Visa
General residence
For you if you are of Nepali origin and hold an NRN identity card: the NRN Visa is a long-stay route for the Nepali diaspora, and recent law changes have made it more generous - including free issuance.
Residential Visa (long-stay, proof of income)
General residence
For you if you want to live in Nepal long term without doing business: the Residential Visa is a long-stay route that requires proof of income - but please read the honesty note, because it is not a settled-status or citizenship pathway.
Study Visa (foreign students)
Study
For you if you are studying in Nepal: the Study Visa lets you live there for your course, issued by the Department of Immigration on a recommendation from the Ministry of Education.
Working (Non-Tourist) Visa
Sponsored work
For you if you are taking up employment in Nepal: the Working Visa is the only visa that allows you to work, and it depends on a separate labour permit plus a recommendation from the relevant government ministry.
