- A tourist visa can be extended up to a maximum of 150 days within one visa year (January–December).
- Diplomatic and official passport holders are issued gratis (free) 30-day visas at entry points on the basis of a mission recommendation.
- Some nationalities are not eligible for a visa on arrival and must apply in advance at a Nepali mission — check the Department of Immigration's visa information and exemption pages before travelling.
- Apply and pay only through the official Department of Immigration site (immigration.gov.np) and Nepaliport; the Department has warned travellers about fraudulent look-alike websites charging visa fees.
