Tribhuvan International Airport at Kathmandu is the only international airport of Nepal. The Immigration Office at TIA (Tribhuvan International Airport) under the Department of Immigration has been facilitating tourists flying into Nepal by providing visa on arrival. 'On Arrival' visa procedure is very quick and simple. You can expect some queues during the peak tourist season. If you wish to skip the queues at the airport, you can also consider getting visa from the Nepalese Diplomatic Missions stationed abroad prior to your arrival. Choice is yours.
If you have obtained visa from the Nepalese Diplomatic Missions, then you must enter Nepal within six months from the visa issued date. Your total stay is counted starting from the day you enter into Nepal.
Visa obtained on arrival at the Entry and Exit points are 'Tourist Visa'. They bear single entry facility. The Tourist Visa 'On Arrival' is the only one entry visa to Nepal. If you are visiting Nepal for the purposes other than Tourism (sightseeing, tour, travel, mountaineering, trekking, visiting friends and families), you should still get ' Tourist Visa' to get into the country. However, you must change the category of visa as per your purpose and length of stay in Nepal from the Department of Immigration by producing required documents.
Nationals of designated countries are requested to acquire visa prior their arrival from their nearby Diplomatic missions (Embassies/consulates) of Nepal Government.
Please follow these simple procedures for Tourist Visa on Arrival at the airport (TIA), if you have not acquired Visa prior to boarding the plane.
