Can a foreign citizen buy land in Nepal?

Property & Land Law

Foreign ownership of land in Nepal is restricted and should not be treated as equivalent to ownership rights available to Nepali citizens. A foreign investor or foreign person should verify the specific statutory and investment framework before entering any property transaction.

Foreign-investment approval for a company does not automatically mean the foreign shareholder personally owns the company's land.
