Australia is now home to over 213,000 Nepal-born residents, a community that has grown significantly in the past decade, primarily driven by higher education and family reunification. The Nepali diaspora is young, educated, and economically active, with a median annual income around AUD 77,000. While most do not plan to return permanently, they maintain strong ties to Nepal through visits and remittances, which constitute a significant part of Nepal's remittance economy. Key barriers to increased investment in Nepal include bureaucratic delays and policy unpredictability, with dual citizenship identified as the most crucial policy to encourage greater diaspora investment.
