Argentina to Nepal visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders can get a tourist visa on arrival in Nepal. There is no need to obtain a visa before traveling. Argentine citizens holding an ordinary passport do not need to arrange a visa before flying to Nepal. They qualify for a Tourist Visa on Arrival, issued at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and at major land border crossings. Argentina is not on Nepal's short list of nationalities barred from visa on arrival. Fees are paid in cash on arrival: USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days, or USD 125 for 90 days. The visa is multiple-entry and the maximum tourist stay is 150 days within a single calendar year (via extensions paid for inside Nepal). To save time at the desk, travelers may pre-fill the online arrival form within 15 days of travel. A passport valid for at least 6 months and one passport photo are required. As an alternative, an eVisa can be obtained in advance, but it is not mandatory for Argentine passport holders.
