What to do with a small NGO? Need help to figure out next step by MadagascarNow
We founded a small NGO after the earthquakes and have done several small projects like building shelters, planting trees, providing skills training, etc. We are looking for someone interested in helping Nepal who would be interested in connecting ...
Totally agree. Very difficult if not implausible to raise any meaningful amounts of money within Nepal no matter how good the cause may be, and very easy to raise money in the good old USA using a duly registered 501(c)3 vehicle, exactly as you ... Read More
Starting business in Nepal by adrianrossduncan
The advice on import-export re. setting up business in Nepal will not help if you wish to actually start a business and reside in Nepal. Which is what I plan to do, no matter how difficult it seems. Anybody got any other advice, particularly ...
Hans, you may be interested to read informative article in yesterday's KTM Post. The article is all about direct investment in Nepal and how it's being directed and so often misused. Read More

I'll join you on that, and with Leo's comments. Why run the risk of losing one's shirt? Read More
New members of the Nepal forum, introduce yourselves here - 2018 by Julien
Hi all, Newbie on the Nepal forum? Dont know how to start? This thread is for you ;) We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on ...
Howdy! Your project sounds very interesting. For many years, starting way back in 2001, I exported various types of nepali products from our base, which at that time was located in central Kathmandu. In the next 10-12 years that followed, our little ... Read More
Nepali citizenship for son/daughter by sangfroid55
Hi My kid is born in US, but we both (parents) are Nepalese. Based upon our nationality, will our kid get Nepalese citizenship once she reaches age of 16 ? What are the terms and conditions for it ? Any information will be highly ...
All I can do is to give you strictly personal advice, not legal advice. Right or wrong, my best hunch is that the Citizenship Certificate for your kid (the legal paper denoting citizenship to be obtained after a child turns 16) is in my view pretty ... Read More
How can the Kathmandu air pollution issue be solved? by MadagascarNow
OK, let's first assume the government will either get out of the way or cooperate. It's easy to bash governments and criticize politicians. I just get bored with that dialog and, as expats, I think it's important to remember we are here ...
It sounds as if Dupuis' worst fears are about to come true. In what will amount to a most disconcerting about face, the government - which previously had banned 20+ year-old vehicles - is now set to allow them to ply the roads of Nepal all over ... Read More

Jana - Most people have heard the adage "dog is man's best friend" and I think it's true. Dogs render a multitude of services to mankind. They are wonderful guards, great companions, help police and firemen the world over, locate ... Read More

I am so very happy for you, Jana. Dog lovers will always remain dog lovers and the same around the world. We are one of the same minds! I found Turkish to be very courteous and most helpful in every way. Yes, try to find a friend who can take the ... Read More

I think you are right, you may well become subject to "very high import and VAT taxes" if you try to bring in your pets as air cargo into Nepal or at least this is the information provided in the website of pettravel.com I could not find ... Read More
ATM / Bank Fees by Oscar Aguayo
Hello everyone, My family and I will be moving to Nepal shortly. I am from Spain and I am planning on getting student visas and stay in NP for as long as we can. While in Nepal I plan to work as a freelance web developer to my clients in Spain. So ...
From my experience, here is very broadly stated - I must underline - how I generally see margins on foreign exchange taken at this end, in Nepal, by the different actors with a rate like today of, say, 134.34 nrs for the Euro and 115.85 nrs for the ... Read More

Glad to know information from all of us was helpful to you. A few more tips which hopefully will also be useful. I think you will find that in making transfers to Nepal, spanish bank(s) in this case will take a very reasonable % fee based on the ... Read More

Yes, like you say, an american is probably well advised to park his money in an american bank. And similarly as the inquirer is from Spain - nothing to do with the States in this case- in exactly the same way he is probably well advised therefore to ... Read More

1. You will never go wrong to have the proceeds of your monthly paycheck transferred directly from your spanish bank to a nepali bank, where you will have to arrange to open either a dollar or a euro account. You can only do this after your arrival ... Read More
Declaring Money at the Airport? by Emonokane
Hi There, For a number of reasons, I will be carrying more than $2000 USD with me when I go to Nepal. I have read that you have to declare the money if you are bringing more then $2000 into the country. Does anyone know what happens when I declare ...
JW made a very good point. I agree it's very unlikely that you will find anyone out there, who's been through that situation, and willing to give you his spin on things. And like Moniica also says, the wisest course is to keep "within ... Read More
