Your experience in Nepal

Ri en 75 - Settle down in Nepal to do what? Things here not so simple, especially for foreigners who are required to apply to the authorities before they can do anything. Your project has to meet the well established nepali criteria, and you cannot start to work until and unless you meet all their financial  and other criteria, notably import of minimum capital investment through legal banking channels. Certain sectors are closed to foreign investors too. You'll find many guidelines which should be useful to you on these pages. Worth recalling too that it is strictly against regulations for you or any foreigner to work here while you are in this country on a tourist visa. If you do, and they catch you, you get expelled or fined or both. My suggestion is that initially you first come to Nepal on a simple no-work visit - therefore on a 150 day tourist visa (max. in any one calendar year) - to fully familiarize yourself with Nepal, to see whether you like it or not, to do your own full assessment of the place, to survey working conditions etc.  Based on those findings, you will be in a better position to make a more sensible decision to proceed or not to proceed with your intended project. Just one word of caution: don't believe everything you hear about how easy everything and the formalities may be. As they say, take everything with a grain of salt - and above all make your own decision, based on your own findings, and not based other peoples' hearsay. While you are here on your reconnaissance mission, get legal advice too before you invest a single penny. Better safe, than sorry. Play it safe!
