Tourist Visa

All foreigners, except Indian nationals, need a visa to enter Nepal. For most passport holders, tourist visas can be obtained on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and at border entry points in Kakadvitta, Birgunj, Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj, Gaddachowki on the Nepal-India border, and Kodari on the Nepal-China border. The “On arrival” visa procedure is quick and simple, but you can expect some queues during the peak tourist season. Your passport must be valid for at least six months and you will need a whole free page for your visa.

To obtain a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan Airport you must fill in an application form at one of the automatic registration machines. Bring two passport-sized photographs with a light background. You can save some time by filling in the form beforehand online at http://online.nepalimmigration.gov.np/tourist-visa and uploading a digital photo. This can only be done less than 15 days before your arrival date.

A visa can also be obtained outside of Nepal at the nearest Nepal Embassy or Diplomatic Mission. For this process, you must enter Nepal within six months from the issue date of your visa. Your total stay is counted starting from the day you enter Nepal.

The tourist visa can be extended, for US$ 2 per day, for up to 150 days in a calendar year. To renew a Visa you can go to the Department of Immigration, Kalikasthan, Kathmandu.
