Step-by-Step Application Process

Pre-Arrival Registration

Fill out the online 'Visa On Arrival' form on the Department of Immigration website up to 15 days before your trip to save time.

Travel to Nepal

Fly into Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu.

Payment and Issuance

At the airport, present your printed barcode (from the online form) or use the electronic kiosks, pay the visa fee, and proceed to the immigration desk to get your visa sticker.

Required Documents

—Valid Spanish Passport (must be valid for at least 6 months)
—Completed Visa application form (online or via airport kiosk)
—Visa fee in cash (USD or EUR highly recommended; 15 days=$30, 30 days=$50, 90 days=$125)

Important Tips

•While you can pay the visa fee in Euros, having the exact amount in USD cash is often the fastest and easiest method.
•The local currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). You cannot take NPR out of the country, so exchange or spend it all before leaving.
•If trekking (e.g., Everest Base Camp or Annapurna), you will need separate permits (TIMS card and National Park entry permits).
•Air pollution in Kathmandu can be severe; carrying an N95 mask is advisable.
•Bring a universal travel adapter, as power outages (load shedding) and varying plug types are common.

Easiest Way to Get It

Fill out the online application before flying, carry the exact visa fee in USD cash, and get your Visa on Arrival effortlessly at Kathmandu airport.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.

Discover Nepal

Nepal is a breathtaking Himalayan nation known as the 'Roof of the World,' home to eight of the world's ten highest peaks, including Mount Everest. It offers a majestic blend of soaring mountains, ancient spiritual sites in the Kathmandu Valley, and lush jungles in the southern plains.

Kathmandu

The vibrant capital and cultural heart, famous for its historic Durbar Squares, bustling markets, and sacred temples like Pashupatinath.

Mount EverestLumbini (Birthplace of Buddha)Annapurna CircuitDal Bhat (Lentils and rice)Momo (Dumplings)

Best Time: October to December (Clear skies for trekking) or March to May

Currency: Nepalese Rupee (NPR)

Daily Budget: $30-70/day

Safety & Scams

Generally safe for tourists; the primary hazards are natural (altitude sickness and trek-related risks); always trek with a guide in remote areas; be cautious of monkeys at temples (they can be aggressive); healthcare is adequate in Kathmandu but very limited in the mountains; ensure your travel insurance covers helicopter rescue.

Getting Around

Domestic flights to mountain airstrips (like Lukla) are common for trekkers; long-distance buses connect major cities but roads can be rough and winding; rickshaws and taxis are popular in cities; trekking is the only way to reach many mountain villages.

Cultural Etiquette

Greetings involve 'Namaste' with hands pressed together; remove shoes before entering temples or homes; circumnavigate Buddhist stupas clockwise; avoid touching people with your feet; ask permission before taking photos of people.

Internet & Connectivity

Digital infrastructure is reliable in Kathmandu and Pokhara; 4G is widely available via Ncell and Nepal Telecom; connectivity is surprisingly good on popular trekking routes (Everest/Annapurna) but drops in remote valleys; many guest houses offer Wi-Fi, often for a small fee.
