Art. 14 · Part 2
Non-Resident Nepali Citizenship
गैरआवासीय नागरिकता
💡Highlight any phrase below and we'll explain what it means.
Original Text
Non-residential citizenship may be granted to persons who have acquired foreign citizenship but who, or whose parents/grandparents, were previously citizens of Nepal by descent.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
Diaspora Nepalis who took foreign citizenship can get a special "non-resident Nepali" status - allowing economic, social, and cultural rights (but not voting or political rights). This benefits the 5+ million Nepalis abroad.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
विदेशी नागरिकता लिएका तर नेपाली मूलका व्यक्तिलाई गैरआवासीय नागरिकता दिन सकिन्छ।
✅ Good Aspects
Allows diaspora to invest and engage with Nepal economically.
⚠️ Concerns
Non-resident citizenship restricted to non-SAARC countries - excludes huge Nepali diaspora in India.
