Tourist Visa (On Arrival) Most foreign visitors can obtain a tourist visa upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu or at other designated entry points (land borders with India and China). However, securing a visa in advance is recommended for a smooth entry.

Visa Fees:

• 15-day visa: $25 (extendable for an additional 15 days)
• 30-day visa: $40 (extendable for an additional 30 days)
• 90-day visa: $100 (extendable for an additional 30 days)

Indian Citizens

• Indian nationals do not require a visa to enter Nepal. However, they must carry a government-issued ID, such as a passport, voter ID card, or any other official identification recognized by the Nepalese authorities.

Visa Extensions

• Tourist visas can be extended for up to 150 days in a calendar year. Extensions are processed at the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu or local immigration offices.
• The extension fee for a tourist visa is typically $2 per day.

Requirements for Visa on Arrival To obtain a visa on arrival, you will need:

• A valid passport (valid for at least 6 months from your entry date)
• A completed visa application form (available at the airport or online)
• Passport-size photographs (usually 2)
• Visa fee (in USD)

Online Visa Application It’s possible to apply for a Nepalese visa online via the Department of Immigration’s website (https://online.nepalimmigration.gov.np/tourist-visa). You can fill out the visa application form online and pay the visa fee before you arrive, which can save time upon entry.

Other Types of Visas

• Business Visa: For individuals visiting Nepal for business purposes.
• Student Visa: For those who plan to study in Nepal.
• Transit Visa: For travelers passing through Nepal en route to another country (valid for a short duration, typically 3 days).

Important Tips

• Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months before traveling.

• Visa on arrival is not available at some border crossings, so it’s essential to check entry requirements if crossing by land.

• Make sure to have adequate funds for your stay and visa processing fees.
