Visas
All nationalities require a visa for Nepal. All visiting tourists
must apply for a 50-day visa in advance or $30 at the airport
on arrival in Kathmandu. It is possible that you organize
your visa before departure to eliminate the fuss of applying
for the visa on arrival. It is possible to apply for a single
re-entry visa on arrival in Kathmandu at a cost of $55.
Should you be queried at Kathmandu airport about
exchanging foreign currency on arrival, please tell officials
that you are on a prepaid tour and show documentation if necessary.
Note ~ If you are planning to stay on in Nepal
and need to extend your visa you will need an extra 2 passport
photos.
Passport Photos
As regulations change frequently in Nepal, it is strongly
advised to bring 2 - 3 spare passport photos with you, in
case more than the specified number is required.
Travel Insurance
It is strongly suggested that you take out a personal insurance
policy to cover you against sickness, accident, lost baggage,
cancellation and in the unlikely event that you need emergency
evacuation by plane or helicopter due to illness or accident.
You should insure immediately after you have
paid your deposit. The cost is the same whenever you take
it, but the coverage starts when it is issued.
Passport Validity
Some countries insist your passport is valid for 6 months
from your departure from that country. We recommend you ensure
your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your return.
