Route Brief
Central route brief
British citizens need a tourist visa for Nepal, but the route is usually handled either on arrival or through a Nepali diplomatic mission before travel. Nepal's Department of Immigration currently lists 15, 30, and 90-day visa-on-arrival options, so the useful planning decision is which duration fits the trip and whether completing the online form before departure will shorten the airport process.
The application receipt for the on-arrival process is time-limited, and travelers should still carry a valid passport, accommodation details, and a back-up way to pay the fee. An advance embassy visa can be worthwhile when minimizing arrival queues matters more than keeping the process flexible.
