Mexico to Nepal visa requirements

Q: How much does the Nepal tourist visa cost?

USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days, and USD 125 for 90 days. Fees are payable in US dollars on arrival.

Q: Is the visa on arrival single or multiple entry?

Tourist visas on arrival carry a multiple-entry facility, so you can leave and re-enter Nepal during the validity of your visa.

Q: How long can I stay in Nepal as a tourist?

Up to 90 days per visa, but no more than 150 days cumulatively within a single calendar year. Extensions are available at immigration offices.

Q: What documents do I need on arrival?

A passport valid for at least 6 months with a blank page, one passport-size photo, the fee in US dollars, and ideally proof of onward travel and accommodation.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply to Nepal?

No. Nepal is not part of the Schengen area, so neither the Schengen short-stay rule nor ETIAS applies.

Mexican passport holders can get a tourist visa on arrival (VOA) in Nepal at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and at major land borders. No visa is required in advance, though optional online pre-registration speeds up the airport process. A Mexican ordinary passport holder traveling to Nepal for tourism does not need a visa before departure. Nepal grants visa on arrival (VOA) to almost all nationalities, including Mexico, at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and at designated land border crossings such as Kakarvitta, Birgunj, Belahiya/Sunauli, Kodari/Timure and Gadda Chauki. Tourist visas are issued in 15-day (USD 30), 30-day (USD 50) and 90-day (USD 125) tiers, are multiple-entry, and are payable in US dollars on arrival. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months with a blank page, and travelers should carry a passport photo, proof of onward travel and accommodation. Cumulative tourist stays may not exceed 150 days in a calendar year. Nepal is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers may optionally pre-register through Nepal's online tourist visa portal within 15 days of travel to shorten queues, but this is not mandatory. Verified against the US State Department country page, IATA Travel Centre and the Nepal Department of Immigration.
