Visa Requirements

If you are an international tourist and seeking to visit Nepal with a Tourism Visa, you can get it on arrival to the Tribhuvan International Airport by the Department of Immigration with a simple and straightforward procedure besides some queue. Another way to receive a visa is via Nepalese Diplomatic Missions from your homeland before flying to Nepal. Getting a tourism visa with this method, you must visit Nepal within six months from the issued date.

 

Nepal’s only international airport, Tribhuvan International Airport – TIA, is located in Nepal’s capital city. At the start of 2021, Pokhara International Airport will also come into operation as its construction is complete. With the tourist visa that you receive at the entrance of TIA, you receive several re-entrance facilities. Even if your purpose of visiting Nepal is other than tourism, you need Tourism Visa to get into Nepal.

 

You will have to get a visa from Embassy of Nepal located at your homeland before flying to Nepal if you belong to Nigeria, Ghana, Swaziland, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Liberia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, and Syria.

 

The entrance fees at TIA can vary depending upon the number of days you plan to stay. It costs $ 30 and $ 125 for 15 days and 90 days, respectively. If you decide to make your stay longer, at $ 45, you can extend 15 days stay, and for additional days it costs $ 3 per day.

 

If you are traveling with children under ten years of age (except citizens of the USA), the visa is free of cost, known as Gratis Visa. For the citizens of SAARC counties (except Afghanistan), tourism visa is free for 30 days of their first-time visit to Nepal in the given visa year.

 

Overall, the visa procedure for International wanderers is not complicated. The target of the Nepal Government is to make Nepal tourism-friendly.
