Nepal tourist visa

A Nepal tourist visa is for leisure, trekking, and visiting — not employment. Eligible travelers usually get 15, 30, or 90 days on arrival, with a combined annual stay cap of around 150 days.

Getting the tourist visa

Complete the visa on arrival online form, pay the published USD fee, and receive the visa at the airport or land border. Trekking permits (TIMS, national parks) are separate from the visa.

Need more days than your current visa allows? That's a separate process — see our dedicated tourist visa extension page for fees, timing, and document help.

Visa fees, eligible nationalities, and forms change. Confirm current rules with the Department of Immigration Nepal or a Nepali embassy before you travel. Lingo and Landscapes helps with documentation and lawyer-guided applications; we do not issue visas.

Can I convert a tourist visa to a student or work visa?
Sometimes, with the right institutional or employer documents and immigration approval. It is not automatic. Get advice before your tourist visa lapses.
