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.
