What the document holds

Nepal Immigration Rules 2051 (1994) as amended to the fifth amendment, 76 pages, Nepali: visa types (diplomatic, official, tourist, non-tourist, business, study, transit, non-resident Nepali, residential), residential visa grounds incl. investors of at least US$100,000 in industry (rule 11(1)(घ)) and foreigners living without business who spend US$20,000 a year (rule 11(1)(ङ), out of scope), issuing authorities, application forms (Schedule 4 lists a ground of more than US$1 million invested at once), visa fees (Schedule 9) and restricted-area permits. This pass added 6 rules: residential visa first-issue and renewal fees (US$500 and US$200 a year), late-renewal surcharge (US$30 a month), one-year first validity, 7-day decision time, and the US$1 million ground printed in the application form. Not recorded: business-visa fees for investors by investment size (NPR 1 crore / 10 crore bands; business visa up to five years, rule 9) because the business visa is not a residence route (left for a decision), the rule 11(1)(ङ) living-without-business visa fees (US$700 / 1,200), and fees for other visas.

About the document

What it covers Rule 1 (commencement), rule 11 (residential visa, including clause (घ): one-time investment of at least US$100,000 in Nepal's industrial business, as amended by the first amendment), amendment table with Gazette dates (Bikram Sambat).

Notes Listed in the Law Commission's regulation volume 4A (internal administration). Gazette publication 2051-02-23 BS; the document's own footnote equates 2051-03-17 BS with 1 July 1994. The PDF text layer uses a broken Devanagari glyph mapping, so quotes were transcribed from the rendered page images and will not match pdftotext output verbatim.
