  1. Personal Appearance

    In this instance, you must apply in person at the consulate to obtain your visa. Unfortunately, CIBTvisas is unable to assist you with your visa application.

Nepal visa FAQ

  1. When is the best time to apply for my Nepal visa?

    The best time to apply for your Nepal visa is 1-2 months before your travel date.
  2. Do I have to send you my passport to get a Nepal visa? Is it safe to send a passport?

    Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Nepal visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa request cannot be processed without your original passport. Because of the importance of your passport, we strongly suggest that you send your application in a secure way, using a traceable courier such as FedEx.
