Poland to Nepal visa requirements

Polish ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa in advance for Nepal. A tourist visa is issued on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and at designated land borders, for 15, 30, or 90 days. Poland is not on Nepal's visa-on-arrival exclusion list. As of 2026-05-30, a Polish citizen traveling to Nepal for tourism obtains a Tourist Visa on Arrival (VoA). Poland is not among the nationalities barred from VoA, so no visa is needed before departure. The visa is granted at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and at major land border checkpoints upon payment of the fee in USD or convertible currency. Tourist visas come in three durations: 15 days (USD 30), 30 days (USD 50), and 90 days (USD 125), and carry multiple-entry privileges. Travelers can save time by completing Nepal's online pre-arrival form (nepaliport.immigration.gov.np) within 15 days before travel and presenting the barcoded receipt at the immigration desk; the visa stamp is still issued on arrival. The passport must be valid for at least six months, and one passport-size photo (light background, roughly 1.5 x 1.5 inches) is required. Stays can be extended at the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu or Pokhara, up to a cumulative maximum of 150 days per calendar year. Nepal is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here.

by frequency
/01

Nepal grants tourist VoA to nearly all nationalities, including Poland; it is the simplest and most common route.
High
/02
Long airport queues in peak season
During March-May and September-November the VoA desk can be slow; pre-registering online helps.
Medium
/03
Passport validity shortfall
A passport with under 6 months validity can lead to denied boarding or entry.
Medium
/04
Payment method issues
Fees must be paid in USD/convertible currency or card; bring acceptable funds to avoid delays.
Low
/05
Overstaying the visa
Staying beyond the visa period or 150-day annual cap incurs fines; extend in advance at Immigration.
Low
/07 — On arrival
