Nepal eVisa is an online pre-visa available to citizens of 50 eligible countries and territories for tourism, business, or medical purposes allowing a 15, 30, and even 90-day stay in Nepal.

The eVisa was rolled out by the Government of Nepal on February 20, 2017, to facilitate foreign tourists traveling to Nepal.

The Nepal e-Visa is a single-entry visa available in two types with a validity period of 15, 30, or 90 days, depending on the selected type.

Every traveler needs to fill out the form on our website and send all the necessary documents. Each applicant will receive their electronic travel authorization by email within 5 days of applying.

Completing the application process takes just a few minutes and consists of three simple steps. Our team of experts will then handle each Nepal e-Visa application and send the approved documents directly to each applicant via email.

Important! As the Nepal eVisa is actually a pre-visa, all applicants should know that they will need to print out the received documents and show them upon arrival in Nepal. Immigration officers will issue the visa and stamp it in the passport. Covering the stamping fees will be also necessary. 

• Nepal e-Visa types

  As long as you have a valid passport that will not expire for at least 6 months from the planned date of arrival and a recent photo of yourself, you may make an online visa application for one of the following types:

  • a single-entry permit for 15 days, 30 days, or 90 days: this e-Visa type is issued for tourism purposes. You can go on vacation, make family and friends visits, go on a pilgrimage.
  • a transit e-Visa: stays valid for 24 hours and allows its holders to transit through Nepal while on the way to their final destination.

  Please note! If you plan on going trekking in Nepal, you must have additional permits. e-Visa alone is not enough to go on any trekking routes there.
