A variable capacity turbocharger includes a variable nozzle unit having a shroud-side ring in which a first bearing hole is provided, a hub-side ring in which a second bearing hole is provided, a nozzle flow path formed between the shroud-side ring and the hub-side ring, and a nozzle vane disposed in the nozzle flow path and supported by both the first bearing hole and the second bearing hole. A turbine housing having a scroll flow path is connected to the nozzle flow path, in which the first bearing hole penetrates the shroud-side ring and communicates with the scroll flow path through a gap between the shroud-side ring and the turbine housing. Additionally, an opening of the first bearing hole on the gap side is smaller than an opening of the first bearing hole on the nozzle flow path side.
