not being able to receive an SMS that's being used to verify that you are you can be something you shrug your shoulders about and go on, or it can be a rather big issue. Depends on your personal situation.For me it was worth it to get me an SMS ... Read More

Without generalising, there is no way to answer your question. Every person and every situation will be different, and have a different 'best answer' or solution. That being said, I am of the opinion that there is no reasoning with any ... Read More

Yes, most likely you can. The standard advise when asking would be to come to Nepal on a tourist visa, and change it to a different visa when your situation changes and allows for a different visa. Changing visas should not give you any ... Read More

No, sorry, I have no information about home schooling at all. I think you'd best contact City Counsil of maybe department of Education in your home country. They might have a solution for you ? Read More

Hi, Schools in Nepal. Difficult subject... In the end I think you'll be more or less stuck to having your kids join one of the official (expensive) international schools. Reasons for this are multifold, but consider the following: - Every ... Read More

Yes, exactly what Francoise is saying. My lawyer would also not agree for doing this without knowing you personally already. Not doable about sums it up. But that was not your question... I would expect to be paying between NPR. 5.000 and 10.000, ... Read More

Hi Traveler2020, Nepal is not very accomodating to small foreign investors. Minimum investment amount is currently the forementioned US$ 500.000. And for either buying, renting or leasing land, for whatever purpose, you will need to have a company ... Read More

I'm afraid that Nepal Govenment has spoken, and what they said was that Nepal is not interested in 'small' investors anymore. Bring € 400.000 or stay home is the new message. It makes me, being a 'small investor' myself ... Read More

Indeed houses here are in general poorly equiped for any kind of central heating. I have looked into this before and could not find any proper solution for heating my office or house, and eventually resorted to placing individual gas or electric ... Read More

Since most people do not bring over US$2000 in cash into Nepal, I do not think you will be getting an answer from someone who has been in that situation here. And then I think an educated guess is better then no answer at all... There is no law ... Read More

Dude... I think you will lose a lot of people after just two sentences. Same like in general I tune out when I see 'Beadwindow' appear in an article posting, and just skip over it. You have already left Nepal, which is a good thing, now ... Read More

Hi Lori, Yes, what you want can be done. The complainers about the internet are the people who either work from Internet Cafés or from home using the cheaper 'Consumer type' connections. These fail more often then not. If you need a ... Read More

That is a very specific field of knowledge. I doubt many people will be able to answer that. I think your best chance would be to get in contact with Nepalese deaf and hard-of-hearing organizations. Look for some contact information at the bottom ... Read More

I think I am looking at this from a different view point. In the Netherlands we have 365 days in a year (on average) - as in most countries. About 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays are 'by default' for most people a holiday. That is already 104 ... Read More

There are many options besides cash to spend / access your money. - Go to a bank counter, and ask for a cash advance on your credit card. Your credit card limit is the limit of money you can get. - Open a bank account and transfer your money by ... Read More

A very good article. Very true... Thank you for posting this! Read More

Ehm, no, I'm not an American... what gave you that idea..? If this FACTA law is giving you too many problems, then maybe renouncing your US citizenship might be an answer for you? It seems to have helped more ... Read More

Yes, I have both a US$ account, a EUR account and a NPR account with Nabil bank. All were opened at the same time, about 8 years ago, and all are still active. None of these three accounts needed any minimum amount for opening, but after all these ... Read More

I try to be careful and avoid situations where you're bound to catch some belly bug. Does not always work though, and sometimes I do come home with diarrhea. Usually it's out of my system in a few days, but what I watch out for is recurring ... Read More

Hello Jonathon, Internet has improved a * LOT * during the last couple of years. There is much more international bandwidth available these days, and the few good internet providers have invested lots to improve the customers experiences using ... Read More

Don't forget checking the website of 'The British School in Kathmandu'. And Lincoln and Xaviers are good suggestions indeed. Lincoln being an US International School. The way to make this work would in my idea be to first come to ... Read More

Nepal changes, just as any country, person or situation changes. It would be really strange if Nepal would stay in stasis while the rest of the world changes around it... Personally I am much more interested (not really) why you are so bound on ... Read More

Are you serious in asking this, or just trolling? You are the bearer of a 'Refugee Travel Document', and you don't know which counties are party to the Convention (1951) or Protocol (1967) from which your Refugee Travel Document ... Read More

Hi Mark, I hope you followed Sanjaya's advise, for visiting the Immigration office and asking them what would be your best chance sound like the right thing to do. Depending on several factors (amongst which, your age) you might be entitled to ... Read More

Double basses in Nepal..? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bass ) That would depend, now..? a) Yes, somebody knows b) No, nobody knows or c) 42 - assuming that the actual number of double basses would be the Ultimate Question of Life, the ... Read More

The following document can give you a lot of insight into the tax system in Nepal, although it might or might not answer your specific questions... http://www.nbsm.com.np/userfiles/Nepal%20Budget%202071_%282%29.pdf If not, then maybe the accountants ... Read More

Bogong, don't worry. What you want to do is entirely possible, as long as your keep your stay in the current year under 150 days, so that you are still on a valid visa on December 31, then you can renew your visa from January 1 again onwards for ... Read More

Hi, I appreciate your efforts for finding information online, but just as much as Nepal has a very different culture in real life then the USA, it also has a very different culture regarding providing online information. Having lived in Nepal for ... Read More

Maybe I should clarify a bit... I already have a business visa, I have had one a couple of years already. It seems a new law has somehow been passed, or an old law is being re-activated or whatever, but the new requirement for foreigners working in ... Read More

Well, actually Nepal does have a home delivery of regular mail, but for foreigners it's not really functioning. Due to the lack of real street names and house numbers, the postmen have to know you so that they can actually drop your mail off at the ... Read More

A question this detailed with specifics clearly out of the 'ordinary' range can only be answered by someone specialized on the subject matter who has been informed of all the details. My advise to you would be to contact a real-estate lawyer or a ... Read More

Hi Mark, Would this be an organization for you to contact..? http://learndutchinnepal.blogspot.com/ I know that two of the teachers listed there either are leaving or have left Nepal for some time. They might need another person? Kind ... Read More

Hi Courtney, Nepal usually attracts a few specific types of tourists, with each their specific interests. To these the tourist industry specifically caters. Thrill seekers - there is mountaineering, bungy jumping, rafting, mountain biking, a long ... Read More

Another option, which takes some planning ahead, could cost you even less: Open a foreign currency account with Nabil bank (perferably the same currency as your creditcard bills - personally I have a Nepali Rupee account, a US$ account and a Euro ... Read More

Hi Tanya, I found cooking too time consuming, not in the last place because shopping for ingredients costs lots of time here. I have a housekeeper now who cooks all meals, and keeps the house nice and tidy. A cook / housekeeper you will find by ... Read More

Hi Tanya, There are a couple of large supermarkets in and around Kathmandu / Lalitpur, and most also have a pets section. I prefer the Bhatbhateni supermarkets ( http://bbsm.com.np/stores.html ) for their large collection of products, but I have ... Read More

Hi Tanya, If you carry an Indian passport, then you don't need a visa to come / stay in Nepal. For citizens of SAARC countries different rules apply then for other foreigners. (I am not an expert on this, so don't take my word for it, but I am ... Read More

Hi Tanya, In Nepal / Kathmandu anything is possible. You could hit the jackpot and find your perfect home exactly as advertised on a housing website, or all could be a lie, just as long as you come and visit the house then they will try to talk you ... Read More

Internet connection pricing dynamics have everything to do with your location. In London and in many mayor European cities you have mayor Internet Hubs which host many servers and inter-connect to many other locations over the continent since ... Read More

Hello Tanya, As always the speed of your internet connection depends on how much you are willing to spend on it. And the same goes for the reliability for your internet connection. Running a business myself which heavily relies on having a decent ... Read More

No... sorry to disappoint you, but it is a tat bit more complex then ithapa is suggesting. Just today I have been able to receive my Nepalese driving license. There are two paths one can follow to get a Nepalese driving license (NPDL). In ... Read More

What I think I'd do if I were looking for a Nepali language teacher, is one of two (or both): a) leave a note on the noticeboard of your nearest Bhatbhatini Supermarket (or any other large nearby supermarket) with your request and tear-off mobile ... Read More

Hello Bipin, Realistically, I think you are too late and out of luck. I don't think your plans will work for this project. Also you're kind of in the wrong place for asking. Let me explain myself: Registering your company in Nepal would take a lot ... Read More

Hi Nick, For opening a bank account Nepali people need to show their Government issued Identity Card (their Citizenship Card). Children aged 16 and up can request a Citizenship Card, but the process of receiving one can be hairy... The normal ... Read More

Yes, and you can also drive a car or motorbike without a driving license. Most times without a problem, but when you get caught, the penalties are quite severe, as are the penalties for working in Nepal without a working permit and/or correct ... Read More

Hi Erin, The rules and regulations around a residential visa are not intimately familiar to me, and I would have to advise you to contact a lawyer for all the fine details, but... In line with other visa's I would expect that to get your ... Read More

Please Mike, do a little bit of the homework yourself... Google for 'Nepal tourist visa work' and you'll get a ton of hits, at least all ten of first hits being relevant. Check out the hits on the immi.gov.np site (immigration / government / nepal) ... Read More

No, foreigners are currently NOT allowed to buy / own property in Nepal. Talks are going at a high political level to start allowing foreigners to own apartments in apartment buildings, but this has not been decided on yet, and it is not sure at all ... Read More

Hi Aegus, If you try to pre-arrange this from the States, you will most likely a) be overpaying 10-fold or more b) have a very limited choice of people, since 99% of the english speaking guides are not online. The easy way of arranging a guide / ... Read More

Opening a bank account for a local is easy Ayaka, for a foreigner it is not so straight forward... First thing is that there is no common way of opening a bank account, every bank uses it's own set of rules and regulations. I have bank accounts ... Read More

Hi Stan, I am not sure what your question is, so I'll just give a generic response; be carefull. First is that you should make sure the people hiring you will be taking care of your visa / working permit. If you come in on a tourist visa, you are ... Read More

Single phase or 3 phase makes no difference. Electricity is switched off per neighborhood, not per phase. I have a 3 phase connection, and all phases go at the exact same time when loadshedding starts. Big car / small car is a personal preference, ... Read More

Loadshedding is a seasonal problem. Since most of Nepal its electricity is generated from run-of-the-river hydroplants, they produce less (a lot less) electricity during the dry season, then during the rainy season. Right now the monsoon has ... Read More

Hi Larry, Reading your other post I understand where you come from. You worry too much, and are trying to plan ahead things that do not need any planning ahead. But if that's you, then me saying you don't need to plan your hotel booking ahead will ... Read More

Hi Kate, Nepal is not America, not by a long shot. Culture is very different, social interactions are very different and working ethics are very different. I think it is a safe bet that it will be very difficult to maintain the same working and ... Read More

Whether working in Nepal is illegal or not depends on your personal situation. For foreigners that is directly connected to the visa they have in their passports. If it's a tourist visa, then yes, working is illegal. Any kind of working, also ... Read More

Hi proljece, In my opinion your best chance would be with one of the International Schools in Kathmandu. Although they favour native English speakers, they might not have been able to attract someone with your qualifications and might relax this ... Read More

Hi Richard, As far as I know, the correct way would be to 1) set up a company (Pvt. Ltd.) and become a shareholder (this would generally require a Lawyer to do a *lot* of footwork). All needs to be done officially, and your shares need to be ... Read More

Difficult... could work, might not work, who knows... but worth trying. Make sure your visa is being taken care of by the volunteer organization you're working for, and your only worry would be where to find money to afford your plans. Thing is ... Read More

Hi Devin, The short answer would be that you'd have to find an expat's company who'll trust you for your investment ideas and is willing to sell shares to you. You would be joining this company at the higher management level since you would - most ... Read More

Inflation over the last year has been calculated to be 13.2% http://www.indexmundi.com/nepal/inflation_rate_%28consumer_prices%29.html I would have guessed the inflation to be a bit higher, more about 20%, at least for food stuff, but I guess ... Read More

And then just today an article in the Kathmandu Post printed prices (all prices for 1 kg.) for the following: Commodity (1 kg.) This year Last year Price Rise (%) Mansuli rice NPR. 43 NPR. 26 64.49 Maize NPR. 67 NPR. ... Read More

Pff, the cost of living in Nepal... I'll mention prices in Nepali rupees, at the moment of writing you buy 1 euro for 106 NPR. Let me start by saying that the cost of your living totally depend on your life-style. Nepali people in Kathmandu manage ... Read More
