Philippines to Nepal visa requirements

Yes - Philippine ordinary passport holders get a Nepal tourist visa on arrival. There is no advance visa needed; you pay a fee at the airport or land border (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days, USD 125 for 90 days) and can also pre-fill the form online to save time. Nepal grants visa on arrival (VOA) to almost all nationalities, and the Philippines is not on the short exclusion list, so Filipino citizens with an ordinary passport can obtain a tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu), Pokhara and Gautam Buddha (Lumbini) international airports, and at designated land borders. The tourist visa is multiple-entry and is issued for 15, 30, or 90 days, costing USD 30, 50, or 125 respectively, payable in cash (USD or convertible currency) or by card. Total tourist stay is capped at 150 days per calendar year. Travelers should carry a passport valid at least six months, a passport-size photo, the fee in USD, and ideally a pre-filled online application from the Department of Immigration portal (nepaliport.immigration.gov.np), which is valid for 15 days and shortens queue time at the kiosk. An online e-visa carrying the same fee structure is also available. Nepal is not in the Schengen area, so no Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS applies.
