Consular Fees

Please note that consular fees will be charged at the port of entry in Nepal. The final amount to be paid will be shown in your confirmation once it has been issued. Upon arrival at the airport in Nepal please go to the bank kiosk to provide payment and then proceed to the immigration desk.

Minors under the age of 10 are exempt from paying this fee

Business Visa Conditions

The Nepalese Consulates and Embassies in Australia do not issue business visas. Applicants applying for business visas will need to apply for tourist visa instead, and on arrival into Nepal must go to Immigration and change the status of the visa to business.

Please note that during the process of having the visa status changed the applicant will need to present a copy of the letter of invitation from the company in Nepal.

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. However, if you are running short on time, we may be able to process your visa on a faster service at the Embassy’s discretion.
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 using our secure collection service.
