For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

Tourists can get a Visa on Arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), or may obtain a visa from Nepali Diplomatic Missions abroad prior to arrival.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The page gives no full nationality matrix and does not say whether any nationality may enter without a visa.

What short-visit purposes does this route cover?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the visit purposes this route covers.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the Tourist Visa section and charter for the list of permitted short-visit purposes; the page only says TIA facilitates "tourists" and the ETA form asks for "purpose of visit" without listing purposes.

What maximum stay, rolling-period rule, validity and entry rules apply?

On-arrival tourist visas are available for 15, 30 or 90 days; a visa from a Nepalese Diplomatic Mission requires entry within six months of issue, with total stay counted from the day of entry; the maximum stay is 150 days per year.

Limits of the record
  • The captures do not say whether the 150-day limit runs per calendar year or visa year.

What important funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward-travel or passport evidence may be required?

At the immigration desk the traveller presents the online form, payment receipt and passport; the online application asks for the purpose of visit and address/hotel details in Nepal. The official source does not state funds, onward-travel, invitation or insurance evidence.

Limits of the record
  • No funds, onward-ticket, invitation or insurance evidence is stated for tourists.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

Travellers fill in the Arrival Card and the Online Tourist Visa form (on the website before arrival, or on kiosk machines at TIA). A Tourist Visa Extension costs USD 45 for the first 15 days, then USD 3/day, and is handled by the Tourist Visa Section with a processing time of 2 hours.

Limits of the record
  • The captures do not state the circumstances in which an extension may be refused or a stay changed to another category.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
