About This Commitment

No Labor Act amendment for remote work yet. However, Digital Nomad Visa policy (announced May 2025) implicitly recognizes remote work for foreigners — includes 5% income tax for stays over 186 days, bank account opening rights, vehicle ownership. The Economic Reform Implementing Work Plan 2025 includes this. Multiple ministries (Tourism, IT, Finance, Home) coordinating. But formal Labor Act amendment for Nepali citizens doing remote work/freelancing/gig economy is not drafted.
