I would highly recommend them as their customer service and professionalism is next to none I have no hesitation to recommend them to other
Simple to do! Efficient. Basic standard information required. I love no stress!
The company is great. simplified and uncomplicated. and very punctual which is of extreme importance.
I had a great experience with the iVisa application process. It was incredibly straightforward and user-friendly. The entire process was smooth, and I appreciated how promptly my visa was sent to me. Overall, I am very happy with the service and would definitely recommend it to family and friends.
Easy to use and keep the client of the progress where the request is up to.
I was asked to pay £50 when I applied for the visa. This was taken from my bank account as shown on my statement. Now on the visa it says that I have to pay on arrival. I do not have a receipt from the visa section, just my bank statement. I need a receipt from Visa section to show the people on arrival that I have already paid.
Unclear website. I thought I was buying my Nepal visa but it was just the form that I will need to pay again for on arrival. So I paid over the odds for a piece of paper I could have got when I arrived at the airport. Not impressed.
The on line tool is horrible - thankfully Cecilia and Nicolas were able to help get correct info into the system to complete the application.
There was clear information about filling the form and easy to understand.
Brilliant service so far. We look frwd to it continuing to the stage of having our two Visa's issues as expected. Well done team.
Nepal visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about Nepal visas.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a Nepal visa?
Most nationalities require a tourist visa. You can get this on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) or at various land border crossings. To speed up the process, eligible travelers can pre-apply to avoid long queues at the airport. Citizens of Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Cameroon, Somalia, Liberia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Afghanistan, and Syria must apply for a visa at their nearest Nepal Embassy prior to travel. Indian nationals are exempt and only need a valid ID (Passport or Voter ID).
How will I receive the Nepal Visa on Arrival?
You will receive a Submission Receipt with a barcode via email. This is not the visa itself, but the digital authorization required to skip the airport kiosks and avoid queues. You must bring a printed copy to the immigration counter in Nepal. However, it's always recommended to keep a digital copy of the confirmation on your phone for peace of mind, which you can also find in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.
How long can I stay in Nepal with a Visa on Arrival pre-approval?
Tourist visas are issued for 15, 30, or 90 days. It's a multiple-entry visa, meaning you can visit neighboring countries within the max. stay period.
Can I extend my stay in Nepal?
Yes, for a fee. To extend your Nepal visa, you must visit the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu or the Immigration Office in Pokhara in person after first completing an application on the official Nepal Immigration portal. The extension costs a fixed fee for 15 days, with an extra fee for each additional day. Simply submit your online application receipt and passport to the officer and pay the fee in Nepali Rupees (it's best to have cash as card systems are unreliable). You can extend your stay to a total of 150 days per calendar year.
Can I get a visa at land borders?
Yes, the Visa on Arrival is available at several land border crossings between Nepal and India (such as Birgunj or Belahiya) and the China-Nepal border (Kodari/Kerung). You can still use our online form to speed up these crossings.
Do children/minors need a Nepal Visa on Arrival?
Yes, every traveler needs their own visa. However, children under the age of 10 (except US citizens) are usually granted a Gratis (Free) Visa. iVisa makes it easy to apply for the whole family in one go by using the 'Add another person' feature during the application.
What happens if I overstay my Nepal visa?
Overstaying is a serious offense. You will be charged a fine of approximately 5 USD per day plus a mandatory extension fee. Significant overstays can also lead to detention or being barred from future entry.
