Who we are
Our purpose
The association was founded by Nepalis who have made Slovakia their home: students, workers, families and long-settled residents. It gives that community a registered form — a body that can speak for it, organise for it and stand behind it.
Our registered purpose is to develop relations between the Slovak Republic and Nepal, and to support Nepali culture and the Nepali community in Slovakia. Everything we do follows from those two lines.
We are a voluntary association. Nobody is paid, the committee is elected by the members, and the work happens on evenings and weekends, alongside everyone's jobs and studies.
What we do
Three commitments
The association is small and new, so we have kept our work to the three things the community asked for first.
Community and culture
We bring Nepalis together for Dashain, Tihar and other festivals, and we keep the language, food and music of Nepal present in the lives of the children growing up here. A community that celebrates together is a community that holds together.
Slovak–Nepali relations
We represent the community to Slovak institutions, schools and local authorities, and we look for cultural, academic and civic partners who want to build something between the two countries. Good relations begin with people knowing one another.
Support for Nepalis in Slovakia
Residence paperwork, health insurance, a school for the children, a flat, the Slovak language: the first years are hard. We share what we have learned, point people to the right office, and make sure nobody has to work it out alone.
Our story
How the association began
Nepalis have been arriving in Slovakia for years, one by one, and helping one another informally the whole time. The association is what happened when that informal help was written down and given a name.
On 24 April 2025 it was registered with the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic as a civic association under registration number VVS/1-900/90-71816, with its seat in Bratislava – Vrakuňa. A committee was elected and the first gatherings followed.
We take our name and our inspiration from the worldwide Non-Resident Nepali movement, which has connected Nepalis abroad for two decades. NRNA Slovakia is an independent Slovak association, established under Slovak law and answerable to its own members; it is not a formally affiliated chapter of NRNA International.
