Do I need a visa for Nepal?

Most nationalities need a tourist visa, available on arrival or online. Indian nationals travel visa-free. A small list of nationalities must obtain a visa from a Nepalese mission before travelling — check your nationality page.

What documents do I need?

A passport valid for at least six months, a recent passport photo, and proof of onward travel. For online applications we review each document before submission.

How long does it take?

An online tourist visa is typically processed within a few working days. Visa on arrival is issued at the airport, but pre-applying avoids the arrival queues.

How long can I stay in Nepal?

Tourist visas are issued for 15, 30 or 90 days and allow multiple entries within a 180-day validity window.

Can I extend my Nepal visa?

Yes. Tourist visas can be extended at the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu or Pokhara, up to a total of 150 days in a visa year.

How much does a Nepal visa cost?

A Nepal Tourist Visa costs $75 through VisitsVisa. The $75 price is all-inclusive — the government fee and our service fee are already bundled in, so there are no hidden charges at checkout. Every traveller on the trip — including children and infants — needs their own Nepal visa, and you can add multiple applicants to a single order and pay together in one checkout.

How long does Nepal visa processing take?

Standard Nepal visa processing usually takes 3 days. If you are travelling soon, choose Express at checkout and we prioritise your application, with delivery typically within 24 hours. We recommend applying a few days before departure so your Nepal eVisa is confirmed well ahead of your flight.

How long is a Nepal visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Nepal Tourist Visa permits a stay of 15, 30 or 90 days and is valid for 180 days from issue (multiple entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Nepal applications are refused.
