Visa and Entry Procedure

Nepal warmly welcomes tourists and wants to make easy entry to the country. You can get a tourist visa upon arrival at the Kathmandu Airport (TIA).  Although you can get a tourist visa for Nepal from the embassy or consulate in your country, the simplest and cheaper is to get it at Tribhuwan International Airport upon your arrival in Nepal or else at the immigration entry points (please check below for entry points) if you are entering Nepal via land. Please check the below list of nationals who are not given tourist visas at the airport and other entry points.

Online Visa Application
You can apply for the tourist visa online too. You can still fill out the standard printed forms upon arrival too. However, applying for the visa online will help you get the visa quicker and avoid a long queue upon your arrival. The application system could hold your application for 15 days. If it expires, you need to fill-up the form again at the airport. Here is the link to apply for a visa online in advance https://nepaliport.immigration.gov.np/online 

You need to take care of the following things while filling up the visa application form (online or at the entry point)
