All About the Nepal Visa
Nepal’s government allows almost all tourists who need visas to apply electronically and the process is streamlined to make it as simple as possible. Once your application with Byevisa is approved, you present your confirmation receipt upon arrival to Nepal.
You’re probably wondering if you need a visa to visit this nation of wonders. If you’re from India, you don’t need a visa to visit, but all other countries do. If you’re from the US or the UK, for example, you need a visa for Nepal and the cost depends on your length of stay. Alternatively, if you’re a Chinese national, you need a visa but the government charges you no visa fee.
There are 3 types of travel authorisations for Nepal based on the length of time you want to stay. The 15-day visa costs 30.00 USD, a 30-day stay costs 50.00 USD and a 90-day pass costs 125.00 USD. All visas are valid for Multiple Entry and the corresponding fees are paid upon arrival to the land of 8 of the world’s 10 highest mountain peaks.
When you apply with Byevisa, you save time avoiding long queues at the airport or carrying paperwork to apply in person for a Nepal embassy visa. Completing our application form takes only a few minutes and can be done from anywhere you are in the world.

Difference Between the eVisa and Nepal Visa on Arrival
An eVisa is an electronic travel authorisation you obtain by applying online before you depart for Nepal. This digital document is emailed to you, and you then present it to immigration officials at customs when you arrive. You also pay the fee for this authorisation – either 30.00 USD, 50.00 USD or 125.00 USD depending on your length of stay – at the time of your arrival.
With Byevisa you save time by having your pass ready to go when you land and you can start trekking sooner. It’s simple to show your confirmation – Nepalese officials will ask to see either the printed version or you can show it on your smartphone.
On the other hand, a Visa on Arrival (VoA) is obtained at the Tribhuvan International Airport. Unfortunately, immigration officials warn that this process typically involves long queues, especially during peak season, and complex forms to fill out. Byevisa enables you to bypass this lengthy process and save time.

- The 90-day visa costs 125.00 USD and gives you complete flexibility to explore this nation of stunning geographical marvels.
All of these visas are valid for Multiple Entry.
