- Have the following documents ready for presentation:
- Your valid passport with at least six months validity beyond your intended stay in Nepal.
- Two recent passport-sized photographs (color).
- Visa fee in cash (US dollars, Euros, or Nepalese Rupees). The amount may vary depending on the duration and type of visa.
4. Visa Fee Payment:
- Proceed to the designated counter for visa fee payment. Ensure you have the exact amount required, as change may not be readily available.
5. Visa Issuance:
- Once the fee is paid, the immigration officer will issue your Nepal visa on your arrival card. Confirm that the details on the card are correct.
6. Entry Stamp and Departure Card:
- The immigration officer will stamp your passport and return it along with the arrival card.

7. Departure Formalities:

8. Visa Extension (if needed):
- If you require a visa extension, visit the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu with the necessary documents and fees.
Remember to stay within the visa validity period granted to avoid potential fines or complications.
Although obtaining a visa on arrival is a convenient option, it's generally advisable to research and apply for a visa before your trip to avoid delays and potential issues at the border.
