What This Service Covers
This service supports the Nepal business-visa route for foreign investors, their authorised representatives and dependents. It also helps distinguish that route from the non-tourist visa route for expatriate employees.
The applicant's role and supporting evidence should be matched to the selected visa category before the recommendation and Immigration stages are coordinated.
What Our Service Includes
- Visa-route review, documents and application or renewal coordination within the agreed engagement.
- A category check that keeps an investor, authorised representative, dependent and expatriate employee route distinct.
- Coordination for the Department of Industry recommendation and Department of Immigration application; neither authority's decision is assumed.
Who It Is For
- Applicants preparing an eligible business-visa renewal before the current visa expires.
- Foreign investors with an approved and recorded investment in a Nepali industry or company.
- Their authorised representatives and dependents.
- Foreign-invested companies assessing the separate non-tourist visa route for expatriate staff.
What Is Not Assumed
- A business visa is not a general tourist, study or overseas-work visa.
- An employee's non-tourist visa is not the same as an investor's business visa.
- Company Darta cannot issue visas, influence immigration decisions or regularise an overstay.

Business visa and renewal process
Start with the visa category. The evidence for an investor, dependent and expatriate employee is different.
Confirm the visa category Before filing
Confirm whether the person is an investor, authorised representative, dependent or expatriate employee requiring the non-tourist route.
Check the investment and industry position Before recommendation request
Check the approved and recorded investment, industry or company registration and current progress position.
Prepare the DOI recommendation request Depends on document readiness
Prepare the applicable passport, investment, registration, progress and relationship or employment materials.
Obtain DOI recommendation Authority-dependent
The Department of Industry considers the request and, if satisfied, issues a recommendation.
Apply to the Department of Immigration Authority-dependent
Apply to the Department of Immigration using the DOI recommendation and the required visa documents. Immigration decides whether to issue the visa.
Plan renewal before expiry Before current visa expiry
Prepare updated progress and tax or immigration materials in time for the applicable renewal process.
