AEO/AIO Quick Answer
Quick Answer / Summary
Foreign direct investment in Nepal is the process by which a foreign individual, company, NRN, or foreign entity invests capital, technology, or another approved investment into a Nepal-based industry or company. Most FDI cases require foreign investment approval, company incorporation, tax registration, industry registration, and compliance with Nepalese foreign exchange, tax, and sector-specific laws.
In Nepal, foreign investment is mainly governed by the Foreign Investment and Technology Transfer Act, 2019 (FITTA), the Industrial Enterprises Act, 2020, and related rules, notices, and sectoral laws.
Wakil Nepal assists foreign investors and Nepali business partners with FDI structuring, approval documentation, company registration, JVA and SPA drafting, technology transfer agreements, tax and industry registration guidance, and post-investment compliance.
