The recent estimated Nepalese population in the UK is 150,000 and this is increasing rapidly since the UK government decided to give citizenship to all ex-Gurkhas. There are about 3600 Nepalese personnel in the British Gurkha army at present and about 250 new recruits every year. Many Nepalese have also migrated to the UK on the highly skilled migration programme and there is a high Nepalese student population in the UK. The Nepalese are now present in all the different professions in the UK including medical, law, accountancy, business, education and hospitality. The estimated Nepalese in Europe except UK is around 15,000.
