Identity

  • Arrival card and Tourist Visa form

    Required

    Most travelers get a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) or another official entry point: fill in the Arrival Card and the online Tourist Visa form (in advance on the DoI website, or on a kiosk at the airport), then print the submission receipt with its barcode, it's valid for 15 days. You can also apply at a Nepali diplomatic mission before you travel; if you do, you must enter Nepal within 6 months of the visa's issue date.

Financial

  • If you're under 10: the tourist visa is free

    Nepal's Department of Immigration lists children below 10 years among those who get a gratis (free of cost) visa. The list gives no conditions for children, so confirm the rule for your child's nationality with the Department before you travel.

  • Visa fee, paid at the entry point

    Required

    At the airport: pay at the bank counter after filling in your form, then present your form, payment receipt, and passport to the immigration desk. Entry fees: 15 days $30, 30 days $50, 90 days $125 (USD; carrying cash is advised, though multiple payment methods are accepted). Citizens of SAARC countries other than Afghanistan get this fee waived for up to 30 days on their first visit of the Nepali visa year (mid-April to mid-April), you still go through the same on-arrival process, just without paying. Chinese nationals also currently get the fee waived.

Why applications on this route get refused

  • Submission receipt expired before reaching immigration

    The barcode receipt from the online Arrival Card / Tourist Visa form is only valid for 15 days.

    How to avoid it: Fill in the online form close to your actual travel date rather than far in advance.

  • Unable to pay the visa fee at the bank counter

    Visa fees are paid in person at a bank counter at the entry point before immigration will process the visa.

    How to avoid it: Carry cash (USD is standard) as a backup even if you expect to pay by card.

  • Incomplete documentation

    The official visa-type table lists "supporting documents" as a requirement without itemizing them further.

    How to avoid it: Check the current requirements on immigration.gov.np or with a Nepali diplomatic mission before traveling, since specifics can vary.
