Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit NP?
Finnish ordinary passport holders can get a Nepal tourist visa on arrival (VoA) at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu), other international airports, and designated land borders. No advance visa from an embassy is required. Choose 15, 30, or 90 days, pay in USD, and bring a passport-photo and passport valid 6+ months. Optional online pre-registration speeds up the airport process. Finland is NOT on Nepal's list of nationalities barred from visa on arrival, so Finnish tourists obtain their visa at the point of entry. The tourist visa is multiple-entry and is issued in 15-day (USD 30), 30-day (USD 50), or 90-day (USD 125) increments, with a maximum cumulative stay of 150 days within a single calendar year. At arrival you complete an electronic arrival/visa form (online beforehand or at airport kiosks), pay the fee in cash (USD preferred; major currencies and a QR payment option also accepted), and receive the visa sticker. Passports must be valid for at least six months with blank pages. Nepal is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS are not relevant here. Optional online pre-registration via the Department of Immigration generates a barcode/receipt valid for 15 days that shortens queue time at the border. Visas can be extended in-country at Department of Immigration offices in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
