Visa Information

Nepal

Nepal Visa

You must have a current, valid passport and a valid visa to enter Nepal.

By far the easiest way to obtain a visa for Nepal is upon arrival at Tribuhvan International Airport, Kathmandu, Nepal.

In the arrivals area at the airport, you will find the visa entry forms to fill out. Most people arriving in Nepal get their visa upon arrival.

PLEASE NOTE WE CANNOT OBTAIN A NEPAL VISA FOR YOU

Please ENSURE YOUR PASSPORT IS VALID FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS FROM THE DATE YOU WILL ARRIVE IN NEPAL.

WHEN COMPLETING THE FORMS AND APPLYING FOR YOUR VISA UPON ARRIVAL, PLEASE MAKE SURE THE VISA YOU ARE PURCHASING IS OF SUFFICIENT DURATION TO COVER YOUR LENGTH OF STAY IN NEPAL.

As of July 17, 2019, the visa fees for Nepal are:

(Multiple Entry). 15 days: US$ 30, 30 days: US $50, 90 days: US$ 125

Note that visa fees can change without warning, and we advise that you bring extra cash as a contingency. We further advise that you check the visa costs prior to travelling to Nepal.

Alternatively, you can apply for a visa for Nepal in advance if there's a Nepal Embassy in your country. UK citizens should contact:

The Nepalese Embassy, 12A, Kensington Palace Gardens, London, W8 4QU (telephone: +20 7229 1594, 6231, or 5352).

For other nationalities, please contact the Nepalese Embassy in your country of domicile.

You’ll find visa application forms in the arrivals’ hall, as well as electronic registration machines that read your passport, take your photo, and print out a completed form to submit to immigration.

But, be sure to have the following items handy:

At least one passport-sized photo 

Cash to pay the visa fee (USD, EUR, CHF, GBP, AUD, CAD, HKD, SGD, and JPY);

A passport that is valid for at least six months.

Please note that the following nationalities cannot obtain a visa-on-arrival: AFG, IRQ, CMR, GHA, SOM, SWZ, PSE, ZWE, NGA, ETH, and LBR.

Handy hint: Fill out your disembarkation card on the plane so you can quickly move through the queue in the arrivals’ lounge.

Apply Online (In Advance)

You can also apply for a tourist visa online within 15 days of your date of arrival in Nepal. You’ll need the address of your hotel and a recent digital version of a passport-sized photo that you can upload to the application. Once you’ve submitted the form, print out the confirmation receipt and show this to the Immigration officer upon arrival, along with your passport and the proper amount to pay for your visa.

The application requires you to enter an address in Nepal. Our own address can be used as follows:

Rural Heritage Journeys PVT LTD, Pipal Marg, Bansbari, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Online Visa Application

Please note: It has been brought to our attention that the Online Visa Application via the Nepal Department of Immigration website may not be a secure website, and you should consider the implications of entering personal data online and satisfy yourself that your data is indeed secure.
