How to enter Nepal:
Foreign nationals,
except Indians, need a visa for visiting Nepal. The Royal Nepalese
Embassy or Consulate provides you a visa. You can also get the visa at
airport upon arrival.
For a single entry visa, it
costs US$ 30 for 60 days, whereas one has to pay US$ 25 for an
additional re-entry fee, US$ 40 for double and US$ 60 for multiple
visas. But children below 10 need not pay any visa fee. Those, who
intend to stay more than 60 days here, have to pay Nepalese currency
equivalent to US$ 50 as visa extension fee for 30 days. They have to
consult the Department of Immigration to extend the visa. US$ 50 is
charged for 30 days for those who want to re-enter Nepal within 150 days
after leaving the country during the same visa year.
Foreign
investors can obtain a business visa with multiple entry from the
Department of Immigration for a period of one and five years at the
recommendation of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry by paying an
equivalent of US$ 100 and 250 respectively in Nepalese currency.
Airport tax:
Passengers departing from
the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) are required to pay NRs. 600
for going to SAARC countries and NRs. 1,000 to all other international
destinations. Domestic airport tax is NRs. 110 (with VAT).
Hired taxis are available at TIA to go to the hotels or
other places.
