Immigration Law, Work Permits, and Visa Compliance in Nepal

All foreign nationals planning to work, invest, or reside in Nepal must comply with the Immigration Act and the Department of Immigration regulations.

1. Business and Investor Visas

Foreign investors who have received DOI approval are eligible for Business Visas, which can be extended to dependents.

2. Labor Department Work Permits

Foreign employees hired by Nepalese companies must secure a non-tourist visa and work permit from the Department of Labor.

3. Compliance and Penalties

Overstaying, working on a tourist visa, or failing to report address changes can lead to fines, detention, or deportation.

Rajiya Law Associates manages investor visa applications, secures work permits, and represents clients in immigration compliance matters.

Our legal associates offer end-to-end consultancy and litigation services in this sector. We assist with regulatory filings, compliance audits, dispute resolution, and contractual drafting to safeguard our clients' interests.
