The process is straightforward — you fill out a form, pay the fee, and receive your visa at the counter. As of 2026, this is the standard way to enter Nepal for tourism.

Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | You get a 15, 30, or 90-day visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport and land borders. Pay in cash (USD, EUR, or NPR) — $30 for 15 days, $50 for 30 days, $125 for 90 days. Have two passport-size photos ready.Check visa details | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date in Nepal. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Kathmandu airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. If you don't have one, they may deny entry or force you to buy a ticket on the spot. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Have your first night's hotel booking ready — either printed or on your phone. Immigration rarely asks, but airlines sometimes check before letting you board. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial proof | Officials can ask for proof of at least $50 per day for your stay. A credit card statement or cash in hand works fine — they rarely enforce this strictly. | Recommended |
Cash only at visa counter
The visa-on-arrival counter at Tribhuvan Airport does not accept credit or debit cards. Bring USD or EUR in cash — crisp bills preferred. ATMs are available after immigration but not at the visa desk.
Photo not mandatory
You don't need to bring a passport photo — they'll take one at the counter. But having your own can save a few minutes in the queue.
What happens at the border
1
Fill out the arrival form
On the plane or at the airport, grab a 'Tourist Visa on Arrival' form. Fill in your passport details, flight info, and hotel address. Keep it simple — no need to overthink it.
2
Queue at the visa counter
At Tribhuvan International Airport, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival'. There are separate counters for payment and visa issuance. Pay the fee (cash only), then get your sticker.
3
Present documents at immigration
Hand over your passport, the completed form, and the payment receipt. The officer will check your passport validity and onward ticket. They'll stamp you in — usually for 15, 30, or 90 days depending on what you paid for.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel and walk through customs. There's no further paperwork unless you're carrying restricted items.
