Nepal eVisa Application Form

Nepal e-Visa Information

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.
