International Travel Status

Nepal is open for international travel.

Visa-on-arrival has been resumed as usual, i.e. as it was before the pandemic, which means that holders of passports of those countries that are eligible for visa-on-arrival will be able to avail that facility. If your country is listed for the requirement of visa before arriving in Nepal, you should arrange for a visa before entering Nepal (Please visit https://www.immigration.gov.np/ for more information).
