Singapore to Nepal visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa in advance for Nepal. You get a Tourist Visa on Arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and at major land borders. Fees are paid in USD: USD 30 (15 days), USD 50 (30 days), or USD 125 (90 days). A Singapore ordinary passport holder traveling to Nepal for tourism qualifies for a Tourist Visa on Arrival (VOA), which is the standard channel for nearly all nationalities. No visa is needed before travel, though an optional online pre-application can speed up the airport process. The VOA is issued at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and at designated land border crossings (Kakarbhitta, Birgunj, Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj, Gaddachowki on the India border and Rasuwagadhi/Kodari on the China border). Three duration tiers are offered, all multiple-entry: 15 days (USD 30), 30 days (USD 50), and 90 days (USD 125). Fees must be paid in cash, preferably clean US dollar notes; some counters accept other major currencies and cards. The passport must be valid for at least six months. A total stay of more than 150 days in a single calendar year is not permitted on tourist visas. Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms VOA availability for Singapore citizens. Travelers should carry a passport-size photo as a backup, even though airport kiosks can capture a photo. The verdict is conservative and well supported by both the destination immigration authority and the Singapore foreign ministry.
