About Dual Citizenship in Nepal

The Need for Dual Citizenship

Dual citizenship represents a bridge between Nepal and its diaspora. It allows Non-Resident Nepalis (NRNs) to maintain a formal connection with their homeland while embracing opportunities abroad. This connection is vital for Nepal, a country with a rich history of emigration and a growing number of citizens living overseas.

Benefits for Development

Dual citizenship can significantly contribute to the development of Nepal in several ways:

• Strengthening Bonds: It fosters stronger relationships between Nepal and its global community, encouraging cultural exchange and mutual understanding[^1^][3].
• Attracting Investment: NRNs with dual citizenship are more likely to invest in Nepal, bringing in capital and expertise that can drive economic growth[^1^][3][^2^][4].
• Facilitating Travel: Ease of travel for dual citizens can lead to increased tourism and business opportunities, further integrating Nepal into the global economy[^3^][2].
• Enhancing Innovation: By leveraging the diverse skills and knowledge of the diaspora, dual citizenship can lead to greater innovation and entrepreneurship within Nepal[^2^][4].
