Visa Requirements for Nepal

In Nepal, every step whispers ancient tales: from bustling Kathmandu lanes, where myths mingle with motorbikes, to the Himalayan trails where silent snow peaks share stories of the stars. It's more than a visit; it's a voyage through time!

Here are the general visa requirements for Nepal:


  1. Visa on Arrival: Most nationalities can obtain a tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and at select land border crossings.

  2. Documents Required:

    • A passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry.

    • A completed visa application form.

    • Passport-sized photo(s).

    • Visa fee, which varies based on the duration of stay.

  3. Visa Duration & Fees:

    • 15 days: USD 30

    • 30 days: USD 50

    • 90 days: USD 125

    Note: Fees might change, and there could be additional options for multiple entries.

  4. Extension: You can extend your visa at the Nepal Department of Immigration in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Overstaying your visa can result in daily fines and potential other complications.

  5. Other Visas: There are other categories of visas available, such as business, student, and resident visas, each with their specific requirements.

  6. Exemptions: Indian nationals do not need a visa to enter Nepal. However, they need to have a valid ID proof like a passport or an election card.

  7. Restricted Areas: Some areas in Nepal require special permits to visit due to their sensitivity near the borders. Make sure to check in advance if your itinerary includes such regions.
