Nepal maintains a relatively accessible visa policy, welcoming travelers from around the world. Most nationalities are eligible to obtain a visa upon arrival at major entry points, including Kathmandu’s international airport and selected land border crossings. Alternatively, travelers can also apply in advance before their trip. The process is generally straightforward, designed to encourage tourism to the country’s rich cultural and natural heritage.

Tourist visas are typically issued for short-term stays and allow visitors to explore Nepal’s famous trekking routes, cultural sites, and Himalayan landscapes. It’s important to ensure your passport has at least six months of validity and to be aware of the permitted duration of stay, which can often be extended within the country if needed. Entry requirements may vary slightly depending on your nationality and mode of arrival.

Please note, you may be required to pay visa fee upon your arrival to Nepal.
