🇰🇷South Korea🇳🇵NepalKR-NP South Korea to Nepal visa requirements
South Korean ordinary passport holders need a visa for Nepal, but it is available on arrival. You can get a tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and at major land border crossings. Fees are USD 30 (15 days), USD 50 (30 days), or USD 125 (90 days), all multiple-entry. No advance visa is required, though filling the optional online pre-registration form beforehand speeds up the airport process. Nepal grants visa on arrival to South Korean ordinary passport holders for tourism and short visits. The visa is issued at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and at designated land border entry/exit points. Tourists choose a 15-, 30-, or 90-day multiple-entry tourist visa, with the cumulative stay capped at 150 days per Nepali visa year (January-December). The visa fee is paid in cash (USD preferred) at the airport bank counter, after which the visa sticker is issued at the immigration desk. Travelers complete an arrival card and tourist visa form on site, or can pre-fill the online pre-registration form at the Nepal Immigration portal to reduce queue time. A passport valid for at least six months and a passport-size photo are required. South Koreans may alternatively obtain a visa in advance from the Embassy of Nepal in Seoul, but for tourism the visa on arrival is the standard, simplest route. Verified against the Embassy of Nepal in Seoul (official .gov.np) and the Nepal Department of Immigration fee schedule as of 2026-06-01.
