Nepal visa info

Nepal welcomes tourists and makes it easy to enter with a pre-arrival tourist visa form and also on visa on arrival system. The pre-arrival form has been considerably improved making it far easier to fill out than previously.

Nepal visa pre-arrival or on arrival

24 hour visa (plus 24 hours free) for $5

15 days for $30

30 days for $50

90 days for $125

Payment on arrival is by or credit card or cash in any major currency. The fee is set in USD and so if paying cash in another currency, change is given in rupees.

For up-to-date info see immigration.gov.np/page/visa-on-arrival

You should pre-fill out the Department of Immigration visa form up to 15 days before arrival, and then print it.

Alternatively, you can fill out this same form on machines in the immigration arrival hall. (All previous covid paperwork is gone, no longer required.)

US citizens 5 year tourist visa

Due to reciprocity, US citizens can get a 5 year multiple entry tourist visa for $160 from the Nepal consulates in the US. This is particularly good value for trekkers and will save time in lines too!

Trekking permits

If a permit is required for our treks, we take care of them. To process the restricted area trekking permits permits (if needed) we need passport-style photo and a scan/photo of your passport details page - send to us by email. The TIMS permit system no longer exists.

National park/conservation area entry fee

We provide and pay for this, unless otherwise stated.

Transiting via New Delhi

There is a tourist e-visa available, see our India visa info.
