Nepal Visa Requirements
British citizens need a visa for holidays to Nepal. You can apply online for a visa on arrival up to 15 days before arriving in Nepal, then collect and pay for your visa at the airport. Alternatively, you can apply using the forms or terminals available at the airport or arrange a tourist visa in advance through the Nepal Embassy. You can pay by card, but it's worth carrying cash as a backup, preferably in US dollars.
Visas are available for different lengths of stay, up to 90 days, and can be extended online to a total of 150 days in one year.
Passport Validity for Nepal Travel
Your passport must be valid for the entirety of your stay in Nepal and have an ‘expiry date’ at least six months after the date you arrive.
Other Key Entry Information
At Nepalese border control, you may need to show proof of travel insurance covering healthcare costs, repatriation and other emergencies, as well as confirmation of where you'll spend your first night in Nepal, such as a hotel booking.
If you're planning to hike in Nepal's main trekking regions, you'll need a valid permit and a Trekking Information Management System (TIMS) card.
