What documents need to bring?

Documents:

Obtaining an entry visa for Nepal can be done upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu; you might find it more convenient to obtain this visa in your own country prior to your travel in order to avoid long visa application queues upon arrival. If, however, you elect to obtain your visa at Tribhuvan airport, you can reduce the time in the immigration lines if you follow these steps:

Step 01. Fill in the visa application form before you arrive, so you may go straight to the head of the line. Forms are usually provided to you by your airline's cabin crew before landing in Nepal. Visa application forms are also available in the Airport's arrival hall, or you can fill online, follow the link – Nepal Visa form.

Step 02. Carry with you U.S. dollars or any foreigner currency in cash for a tourist visa. Currently, the price is 15 Days – 30 USD, 30 Days – 50 USD, 90 Days – 125 USD.

Step 03. You will need 1 passport photo for the visa application. (It is generally a good idea to have several on hand in case you wish to visit neighboring countries). For more information, click here - Nepal Visa

If you have any questions whatsoever about obtaining your visa(s), please do not hesitate to contact us for advice or alternatively go direct to Nepal Immigration, Kalikasthan, Kathmandu
