Non-Residential Nepalese Visa (गैर आवासीय नेपाली भिसा)

The Non-Residential Nepalese (NRN) Visa is a specialized category created for foreign citizens of Nepalese origin and their family members. This visa is designed to strengthen the connection between the global Nepali diaspora and their home country, allowing them to visit, stay, and engage in various activities in Nepal with greater ease. It serves as a bridge for those who have acquired foreign citizenship but wish to maintain their cultural, social, and familial ties to Nepal. The visa is issued free of charge to holders of a valid NRN identity card, which acts as the primary proof of eligibility for this status.

To apply for an NRN visa, individuals must possess a valid NRN identity card issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a recognized Nepali mission abroad, along with a valid foreign passport. The application process requires the submission of an online form, proof of NRN status, and other standard identification documents. This visa is typically issued for multiple entries and can be valid for up to ten years, depending on the validity of the NRN card. It provides a convenient and welcoming framework for the diaspora to contribute to Nepal's development and maintain personal relationships within the country.
