Before you arrive in Nepal

Prepare your arrival documents before travelling. Entry requirements depend on your nationality and travel document, so check the current official guidance for your own situation.

  • Start with the Nepal Tourism Board visa overview below, then follow its Department of Immigration links for the current application process, eligibility and fees. If anything is unclear, contact a Nepalese diplomatic mission before departure.
  • Keep your passport or accepted travel document, application confirmations and accommodation details accessible. Keep a separate copy of important documents.
  • Save your first accommodation address and contact number where you can read them without an internet connection.
  • Check the entry permission and dates recorded on arrival. Resolve any discrepancy with Immigration before leaving the checkpoint.

This checklist does not determine your visa eligibility. Use the official authority for nationality-specific decisions.
