What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay
  • One recent passport-size photo (though digital photo capture is also available at the kiosk)
  • Completed arrival visa form (available at the airport or online in advance to save time)
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking) recommended
  • Sufficient cash or card for the visa fee (USD or major convertible currency)
  • No biometrics beyond the standard photo and fingerprint scan taken at the immigration counter
  • Travel health insurance recommended given limited facilities outside Kathmandu

Visa types

  • 15-day tourist visa on arrival: fee USD 30
  • 30-day tourist visa on arrival: fee USD 50
  • 90-day tourist visa on arrival: fee USD 125
  • Visa on arrival is for tourism purposes only; business or work visas require pre-arranged documentation and in some cases pre-approval

Visa on arrival

  • Available at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and at major land border crossings (e.g., Kakarbhitta, Birgunj, Belahiya)
  • Use the self-service kiosk to fill out details and get a photo, or complete the paper form in advance
  • Pay the visa fee at the bank counter nearby, then proceed to the immigration counter with the payment receipt
  • Processing at the airport typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on queue length
  • Keep small USD denominations or a card ready, as currency exchange counters can have long queues during peak arrival times

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: USD 30 (15 days), USD 50 (30 days), or USD 125 (90 days)
  • No separate service fee for visa on arrival
  • Total cost estimate: USD 30-125 depending on duration chosen
  • Processing time: typically 15-30 minutes at the airport counter
  • No express lane, but arriving during off-peak hours reduces wait times

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Carry exact USD cash if possible, since card payment facilities can occasionally be slow or unavailable
  • Common issues: long queues during peak season (October-November, March-April), so arrive prepared with the online pre-arrival form filled out
  • Nepal immigration occasionally applies extra scrutiny to Pakistani passport holders; carry your hotel booking and a return ticket to show if asked
  • Extensions beyond your chosen visa period can be done at the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu for an additional daily fee
  • If traveling onward to trekking regions (e.g., Everest, Annapurna), separate permits (TIMS, conservation area permits) are required in addition to the visa
