Step-by-step process

1
Check that your nationality can get a visa on arrival. Citizens of Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Cameroon, Somalia, Liberia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and Syria, and refugees with travel documents, must get a visa from a Nepali mission before they travel.
2
On arrival, choose a 15-, 30- or 90-day multiple-entry tourist visa and pay the fee.
3
To stay longer, apply to the Department of Immigration for an extension (minimum 15 days) before your visa expires.
4
Do not stay more than 150 days in a visa year (January–December). Overstaying is fined per day.
