The Tribhuvan International Airport assists travelers arriving in Nepal by offering a Visa upon Arrival. To avoid the queues during the peak tourist seasons, one can get a visa from Nepalese Diplomatic Missions outside before arrival. It is valid for six months from the issued date.
You must first obtain a Nepal visa before traveling to Nepal. All passengers from all nations, except India, are obliged to have it. You can apply for this Visa once you are in Nepal. Send your passport, which must be valid for at least six months beyond the tour’s start date.
The three simple steps can be followed to get the On Arrival Visa at TIA:
After filling out the arrival form, the online tourist Visa form has to be filled out from the official website of the Department of Immigration or at the kiosk machine. The receipt should be brought along.
Make payment in the bank according to visa requirements i.e.
- For 15 days= USD 30 or another convertible foreign currency equivalent
- For 30 days= USD 50 or another convertible foreign currency equivalent
- For 90 days= USD 125 or another convertible foreign currency equivalent
You are recommended to pay these in cash; although the visa desk might accept credit cards, please do not rely on them and bring the receipts of payments.
Submit the above documents to the visa officer at the Immigration Desk, who will verify and issue the Visa upon satisfaction.
The validity of the Visa you are carrying should last for around a half year, and it should contain at least one empty page. Specific individuals such as children under the age of 10 except for US citizens, citizens from SAARC countries except for Afghanistan, NRN cardholders, and Chinese nationals can get a Gratis visa, which is issued free of cost.
Concerning the reciprocal visa waiver agreement, the officials from China, Brazil, Thailand, and Russia do not require an Entry Visa. The Department of Immigration can extend or change categories for all types of visas.
