Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Nepal visa requirements

Yes. Taiwan ordinary passport holders can visit Nepal for tourism using a Visa on Arrival (VoA), issued at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and major land borders. Taiwan is not on Nepal's short list of nationalities that must apply at an embassy in advance. Nepal grants Visa on Arrival (VoA) to nationals of nearly every country, including Taiwan ordinary passport holders, for tourism. The VoA is available at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and at designated land crossings. Tourist VoA comes in three durations: 15 days (USD 30), 30 days (USD 50) and 90 days (USD 125), all multiple-entry. Total tourist stay is capped at 150 days per calendar year. You need a passport valid at least six months with a blank page, one passport photo, the completed Tourist Visa form, and the fee in USD or convertible currency. Travelers can optionally complete the Online Tourist Visa pre-registration form on the Department of Immigration website (valid 15 days) to speed up airport processing, but it is not mandatory. Only a small list of nationalities (Afghanistan, Cameroon, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iraq, Liberia, Nigeria, Palestine, Somalia, Syria, Zimbabwe) must obtain a visa in advance from a Nepali diplomatic mission; Taiwan is not among them, so VoA is the correct channel.
