Tourist Visa from Nigeria to Nepal
- A tourist visa allows Nigerians to travel to Nepal for tourism or family visit.
- Nigerians are not eligible for a visa on arrival at immigration entry points of Nepal.
- Tribhuvan International Airport is the only international airport of Nepal.
- Applicants are advised to start processing their visa well in advance of their travel — sometimes the processing time could take up to one month.
- If you have obtained visa from Nepalese Diplomatic Missions, then you must enter Nepal within six months from the visa issued date. Your total stay is counted starting from the day you enter into Nepal.
- If you are visiting Nepal for the purposes other than tourism (sightseeing, tour, travel, mountaineering, trekking, visiting friends and families), you should still get 'Tourist Visa' to get into the country.
- However, you must change the category of visa as per your purpose and length of stay in Nepal from Department of Immigration by producing required documents.
- All visitors must travel to Nepal on a valid passport (non-expired). The passport must be valid for no less than six months after the intended period of stay in Nepal.
- Unlike Nigerians, citizens of China, Brazil, Russia and Thailand do not require a visa to enter Nepal as a tourist for a period of up to 30 days.
- The visa fee to Nepal for Nigerians is $39. While you can use different modes of payments (at visa fees collection counter), we advise you always carry some cash to be on the safe side.
- You should contact Department of Immigration for extending your visa or changing the category of your visa, if the need arises.
- Tourist Visa extension can be done from Immigration Office, Pokhara too. Non-tourist visa extension can be done only at Department of Immigration (if eligible) for a period of maximum one year (except business visa).
- Each individual, regardless of age, must make a separate application. All applicants will be notified once a decision has been made.
- All fees paid during a visa application are non-refundable and this is independent of whether visa is approved or denied.
- Visitors are advised to be aware of brokers/cheaters or any counterfeit documents, e.g. visas or trekking permits, to avoid legal complications.
- A change of purpose of stay without permission is not allowed, and employment or voluntary services while on a tourist visa are strictly prohibited.
