As with many countries, Nepal has very specific requirements for submitting a Nepal visa. Requirements often vary based on the type of visa required.

The Nepal government may change this process at any time and is allowed to request additional materials during the visa process.

A passport, passport-style photo and flight itinerary are the most commonly required items for a Nepal visa.

Visa fees for Nepal vary based on the type of visa applied for. Costs can range from $30 to over $100 depending on the specifics of a trip. These costs can change at any time based on decisions made by Nepal’s government.

While visas can be obtained at entry, it is best to have one ahead of time to avoid problems when traveling to the region.

The money paid for the visa fee does not include service fees levied by Nepal’s government, cost of postage, processing etc.

Proof of yellow fever vaccination may also be required if you are traveling from a region with the illness or have recently visited there.

Typhoid, rabies and Japanese encephalitis vaccinations are recommended for travel throughout the country.

For more vaccination information, see our Nepal destination advice page.

All U.S. citizens visiting Nepal should register with the STEP program before their trip. This State Department program provides extra information and support in case of emergency. Passport Health’s travel documents staff can assist you in registering.
