Nepal Visa for Georgian Citizens

The most common way for Georgian citizens to travel to Nepal is a tourist visa, which according to official tourism information can be obtained on arrival (Visa on Arrival) at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, as well as at certain international airports and land border entry points. Official source: Nepal Tourism Board — Tourist Visa.

In practice, the process works like this: you complete the Arrival Card and the tourist visa form, pay the government fee based on the number of days you choose, and then an immigration officer issues the visa/entry stamp. A strong recommendation is to complete the form online in advance to reduce queuing — the official page links the online portal directly: nepaliport.immigration.gov.np (note: the submitted receipt/barcode is valid for 15 days; after that you must complete it again).

One important distinction: the visa issued on arrival is a tourist visa. If your purpose is non‑tourist (e.g., work, long‑term study, religious/official purposes, etc.), official guidance indicates you still enter on a tourist visa and then change category at Nepal's Department of Immigration with the appropriate documents.

Nepal also has a short list of nationalities that are not granted a visa on arrival and must obtain a visa in advance at a diplomatic mission. Georgia is not listed there (the examples typically include Nigeria, Ghana, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc.). Rules can be updated, so confirm officially before travel.

On Nepal-related pages you'll often see four broad categories: tourist, business, student, and work. But in real life for Georgian citizens the starting point is almost always the tourist visa (on arrival or via a mission) — especially for trekking, nature/culture trips, visiting friends, or short holidays.

• Tourist visa (Tourist Visa) — the most common choice. You can obtain it on arrival or in advance via a Nepal diplomatic mission.
• Business visa (Business) — when the real purpose is business activity. Conditions and documents are more purpose‑driven, so planning matters.
• Study route — if you plan to study, institutional documents and status management follow a different logic.
• Work / employment — working on a tourist visa is not allowed; this purpose requires proper status arrangement.

If you value a maximum "simple online" flow, note the difference: in Nepal, "on arrival + online form" is often practical, while for example in Sri Lanka the process more often starts via an online ETA. "Online" means different things in different countries — and that's often the biggest source of confusion.

For a general overview, see our visa guide, where we explain how visas, ETA, e‑Visa, and on‑arrival permissions differ.

With Nepal, the "easiest" process often breaks down precisely because people stop checking details: the form is filled incorrectly, there is no photo, the wrong number of days is selected, or the traveller can't clearly explain the real plan to the officer (especially for trekking/routes). Our goal is to make the process fast, calm, and predictable.

• We clarify your purpose and select the right duration option (15/30/90) to match your real itinerary.
• We prepare a practical arrival checklist — what to bring (photo, currency/card, receipts).
• We help you complete the online form correctly and explain your plan briefly and clearly.
• If your purpose goes beyond tourism (business/study/work), we help plan the "right category" so you don't create risk by entering on the wrong basis.
