Türkiye to Nepal visa requirements

Turkish ordinary passport holders can get a tourist Visa on Arrival (VOA) at Tribhuvan International Airport and at official land border points in Nepal. Turkey is not on Nepal's VOA-ineligible list, so no visa is needed before travel. A Turkey (TR) ordinary passport holder traveling to Nepal for tourism is granted a Tourist Visa on Arrival. Nepal issues visa on arrival to nationals of nearly all countries; only a short list (Afghanistan, Cameroon, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, Nigeria, Palestine, Somalia, Syria, Zimbabwe) must apply in advance at a Nepalese mission. Turkey is not on that list. The VOA is issued at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and at major land border crossings. Tourist visas come in 15-day (USD 30), 30-day (USD 50) and 90-day (USD 125) options, single or multiple entry, with a maximum cumulative stay of 150 days per calendar year. Travelers can speed up the process by completing the online application form on the Department of Immigration website within 15 days before arrival and bringing the printed barcode receipt. Payment at the counter is by cash (USD strongly recommended; major currencies accepted). Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Nepal is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
