Non-Resident Nepali (NRN) Visa

The Non-Resident Nepali (NRN) Visa is a specialized immigration status designed for individuals of Nepali origin who have acquired foreign citizenship, as well as Nepali citizens residing abroad for extended periods. This visa serves to strengthen the bond between the global Nepali diaspora and their home country, facilitating easier travel and long-term stays. It is a significant benefit for those who wish to maintain strong socio-economic and cultural ties with Nepal, allowing them to engage in various activities, including investment and property ownership, while enjoying a streamlined entry process that reflects their unique status.

To qualify for this visa, applicants must hold a valid NRN Identity Card issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or its diplomatic missions abroad. While the visa itself is provided free of charge for the duration of the NRN card's validity, applicants must still comply with standard immigration procedures, including submitting an online application and providing a health certificate. This visa category is highly advantageous for NRNs, as it removes the typical constraints associated with standard tourist visas, providing a stable and welcoming framework for those returning to Nepal for personal, professional, or investment purposes.
