Things are easy in Nepal for the foreign travelers. All countries except India require a visa to travel to Nepal. There are various categories of visas you can apply for coming to Nepal like a Tourist visa, Work visa, Diplomatic visa, Marriage visa, Relationship visa, Study visa, etc. 

The visa for the travel is available at the embassy of the country a traveler belongs to. It is also available on arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport or any of the land borders entry points. The entry points other than the international airport are Kakadvitta, Birjung, Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj, and Gaddhachowki in Nepal-India border and Kodari and Kerung in Nepal-China border. So, you need not worry unless you have a passport valid for at least six months, two passports sized photos (not required in the airport) and can pay the visa fee in foreign currency. Credit cards, Nepali and Indian currencies are not accepted for the visa fee payment.

Nepal Visa on Arrival Requirements

On your trip, Nepal provides you on the spot visa at the airport after your arrival. The Visa on arrival is a quick process. However, it might take time during the peak tourist seasons in the country due to the long queue. The Tribhuvan International airport, the only international airport of the country as well as other Entry Points also provide the tourists with the arrival visa.

The visa on arrival is the ‘Tourist Visa’ and is the only entry visa in Nepal after the arrival. So, if you are in Nepal for the purposes other than tourism (site seeing, trekking, visiting friends, travel, and tour), then you need to change the type of your visa by contacting the office of Department of Immigration, Nepal. As soon as you arrive at the Tribhuvan International Airport, you need to follow some simple procedures to obtain the Nepal Visa. Here are the processes you should go through for the process of getting a visa.

Step 1:

– Fill the ‘Arrival Card”

– Fill the online ‘Tourist Visa Form.’ You can fill the form before to your arrival in Nepal which is available on the website of the Department of Immigration, print the submission receipt and bring it with you. It is valid for 15 days only. You can do it from your home country or upon arrival in the airport in Kathmandu.

Step 2:

– Make payment at the bank according to the type of visa you want (15 days, 30 days or 90 days) and make sure you take the receipt.

The visa fee can be paid in different currencies like the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro, Hong Kong dollar, Japanese Yen, Singapore dollar, Pound Sterling and the US dollar. In most of the cases, US dollars are preferred. But, if you are traveling through the land borders rather than the airways, the only choice for the payment is in US dollars. Since credits cards are not accepted for the payment, bringing cash with you will be a wise decision to make.

Step 3:

– Once you get the payment receipt, move towards the Immigration desk with the receipt, your passport, and the filled application form.

– Sometimes you may be asked to show your accommodation details and return tickets so bring them while proceeding for the visa. The visa officer will mark a visa stamp for the duration you have applied for on your passport upon their satisfaction.

Visa Extension

You can extend your visa from the Immigration office in Pokhara and Kathmandu. It costs you a minimum of 30 US dollars for the extension of 15 days and the extra US $2 for every day after that. So, if you are planning to visit Nepal for more than 60 days, it’s a better idea to get a 90 days visa rather than a 60 days visa and an extension. The payment for the visa extension must be made in Nepali currency.

Requirements for the visa extension

For the extension of your visa, all you need is your passport, the visa extension fee, photo, outbound flight ticket and an application form that should be filled online. The form asks you for the Nepalese street and the building number. Since most Nepalese streets do not provide with the building number, you need not hesitate to make it up on your own. Now grab your documents and search for a photo studio that could print digital passport photos for you.

You can extend your visa in the same day, within about 2 hours. If you feel bored about the whole procedure you should go through for the extension, the travel agencies also help you in the process by charging you some service fee and save your time.

You can extend your tourist visa no longer than 150 days in a visa year (January 1 to December 31). If you are close to the maximum days, you need to show an air ticket as proof that you are leaving the country. Up-to-date information on the visa is available on the official website of the Department of Immigration Nepal.

Other visa Information to travel Nepal

There are still some countries which do not get the arrival visa in Nepal. Visitors from Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, Ethiopia, Somalia, Palestine, Afghanistan, Swaziland, Iraq, Ghana, and Cameroon should get the visa from the Embassies of Nepal of the Diplomatic Missions in their respective countries. It is because they do not get the arrival visa at the entry points of Nepal.

Permits

Some remote rural areas, mostly which are closer to the Tibetan border, need a restricted area permit. Those who are trekking to Manaslu, Mustang, Nar-Phu, Dolpo, Humla, Tsum valley and Kanchenjunga regions must have a restricted area permit to continue their journey. The permit ranges from the US $10 to the US $500 per week, and you need the assistance of a registered trekking agency to make sure of it.
