FDI and Foreign Investment Advisory in Nepal
We help international investors set up and operate in Nepal. From FITTA approval to company setup and profit repatriation, we handle the full process clearly and smoothly.
What's included in FDI & Foreign Investment Advisory
A complete, no-surprises scope of work — clearly defined from day one.
Built for businesses like yours
Foreign investors entering Nepal
First-time investors need comprehensive guidance on Nepal's regulatory environment, optimal investment structures, and step-by-step setup processes to avoid costly delays and compliance issues.
Multinational companies expanding to Nepal
Global businesses establishing Nepal operations require FITTA-compliant structures, efficient repatriation mechanisms, and ongoing compliance management aligned with parent company reporting.
Joint ventures with foreign partners
Partnerships between Nepali and foreign investors need carefully structured agreements that protect both parties while meeting all regulatory requirements under FITTA and Nepal's Companies Act.
A clear path from kickoff to results
Investment Structure Design
We analyze your business objectives, capital requirements, and long-term goals to recommend the optimal investment structure — considering FITTA compliance, DTAA benefits, tax efficiency, and operational flexibility.
FDI Application & Approval
We prepare and submit your foreign investment application through Nepal's Online Foreign Investment Approval System (OFIA) at DoI or IBN, handling all documentation and follow-up until approval is received.
Company Registration & Setup
After FDI approval, we complete company registration, PAN, VAT, and all local licensing — ensuring your Nepal entity is fully operational and compliant from day one.
Ongoing FDI Compliance
We manage post-investment reporting requirements — OCR annual filings, IRD tax compliance, dividend repatriation approvals, and SWC reporting for NGOs — keeping your investment compliant year after year.
What you actually receive
No vague promises. Each engagement ships specific, named outputs you can hold in your hands and use immediately.
