APPLYING ONLINE:

You can save time by filling in the application form online at www.nepalimmigration.gov.np. However, you must do this within 15 days of your arrival to Nepal.

EXTENDING YOUR VISA: 

You can extend your visa for a total of 150 days however, you will have to provide your air ticket as evidence you are leaving when your visa extension is nearly finished. Visa extensions can only be done in Kathmandu or Pokhara immigration offices. A 15 day extension will cost $30 and $2 per day after that. A 30-day extension will cost $50 although if you are looking for multiple entry an extra $20 will be added. You can get the extended visa on the same day but you will need your passport, the fee, a photo and an online application form.

Things You’ll Need to Remember:

• Since this is the nation’s only international airport, it can get crowded. It’s best to fill out any forms on the plane.
• There are currency exchange booths at the airport as well as in Thamel ( located at the city’s center and usually gives better rates).
• Carry a few photocopies of your passport as well as passport sized photos (4-5 will suffice) just in case.

You do not need a Chinese visa if you are entering Tibet from Nepal. But you do need a Tibet Permit ($120 but subject to change). We will apply for and obtain your Tibet permit. This fee is included in your package. Allow at least 2 business days for the Tibet permit after your arrival in Nepal as we will need your passport.
