Nepal Visa Information

Getting your Nepal visa is straightforward and stress-free. Most travelers can obtain a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu or at land border crossings like Kodari, Kakarbhitta, and Belahiya. We recommend carrying a few passport-sized photos and the exact visa fee in US dollars or other major currencies to speed up the process. Standard tourist visas are available for 15, 30, or 90 days, each with a single or multiple entry option. The visa fee varies by duration and entry type, so having the correct amount ready helps you avoid queues at the currency exchange counter.

Our team can guide you through the paperwork and help ensure you have the right documents ready before your journey. For the smoothest experience, check the latest official requirements a few weeks before you travel. Keep in mind that your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date, and you may need to fill out an online form in advance if you prefer electronic processing. Once you land, simply follow the signs to the visa counter, submit your documents, and pay the fee. We are always here to answer any questions about the visa process, so you can focus on the adventure ahead.

The visa application form is provided on arrival, but you can also complete it online up to 15 days before your trip to save time at the counter. Major credit cards are accepted at the airport visa office, though cash in USD, EUR, or GBP is often faster for processing. If you are entering overland from India, note that Indian nationals have different visa requirements, so check the specific rules if that applies to your itinerary. For trekkers heading to restricted areas like Upper Mustang or Manaslu, you will need a separate trekking permit in addition to your tourist visa, which we can help arrange as part of your trip planning.

We recommend arriving with a printed copy of your hotel booking or trekking itinerary, as immigration officers may ask for proof of accommodation and onward travel plans. The visa counter is usually open 24 hours at the airport, so even late-night flights are covered. If you lose your photo or need extra copies, there is a photo booth near the visa area, but bringing your own keeps things moving quickly. Our local team can also meet you at the airport to assist with the process, ensuring you step into Nepal without any paperwork worries. Just focus on the excitement of your arrival, and we will handle the details.
