Tribhuvan
International Airport is the only international airport of Nepal.
Immigration Office, TIA (Tribhuvan International Airport) under
Department of Immigration has been facilitating tourists flying
to Nepal by providing Visa on Arrival. 'On Arrival' visa procedure
is very quick and simple. You can expect some queues during
peak Tourist season. If you wish to skip those queues, you can
also consider getting Visa from Nepalese Diplomatic Missions
stationed abroad prior to your arrival. Choice is yours.
If you have obtained visa from Nepalese Diplomatic Missions,
then you must enter Nepal within six months from the visa
issued date. Your total stay is counted starting from the
day you enter into Nepal.

'Tourist Visa'. They bear multiple Re entry facility. Tourist
Visa 'On Arrival' is the only entry visa to Nepal. If you
are visiting Nepal for the purposes other than Tourism (sightseeing,
tour, travel, mountaineering, trekking, visiting friends and
families), you should still get ' Tourist Visa' to get into
the country. However, you must change the category of visa
as per your purpose and length of stay in Nepal from Department
of Immigration by producing required documents.
