Singaporeans may stay up to 90 days in Nepal with a visa issued on arrival, which can be obtained at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu and at border entry points in Kakadvitta, Birgunj, Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj, Gaddachowki on the Nepal-India border and Kodari on the Nepal-China border. Visa fees are payable in USD. Money-changing and ATM services are available at the airport, but credit card payment is not a reliable option. Tourists may stay no more than 150 days in any given calendar year. As visa requirements often change at short notice, we advise you to contact your travel agency, or the nearest Consulate of Nepal in Singapore for up-to-date information. There should be at least six months' validity on your passport from the expected date of departure from Nepal.

If your passport is lost or stolen in Nepal, you will need to do the following:

1. Lodge a police report with the Nepali authorities. 
2. Contact the Singapore High Commission in New Delhi. Our Consular officer will e-mail you a fingerprint verification form which you will have to fill up, scan and send back.  
3. Upon verification, you will have to arrange for a NOK to submit the application for a new passport on your behalf at ICA in Singapore. Your NOK will also have to make arrangements to mail your new passport to you once it is ready.
4. If you have lost your passport and need to return to Singapore urgently, the High Commission will issue you a Document of Identity (DOI) after verification. To process your DOI, you must provide one passport-sized colour photograph and a fee of Rs 750 (subject to change) to the High Commission. The DOI can be couriered to you at your own expense.

A Singaporean who is travelling with a replacement passport in Nepal must bring the replacement passport to the Department of Immigration of Nepal to receive an exit visa. This exit visa allows the traveller a specified period of time in which to leave the country legally. The above requirement also applies if you are issued a DOI.  The Department of Immigration address is:

Nepal is in a major earthquake zone and remains at risk of further earthquakes and aftershocks. You should familiarise yourself with safety procedures in the event of an earthquake. Flooding and landslides often occur during the monsoon season (June to September). Road travel anywhere can be hazardous, particularly in rural areas. Never trek alone. Use a reputable agency, remain on established routes, and walk with at least one other person.

Overseas Travel – Be Informed & Be Safe [Updated on 5 February 2024]

Singaporeans planning overseas travel are reminded to take the necessary precautions, including being prepared to deal with accidents, natural disasters or terrorist attacks. Singaporeans are also reminded to be familiar with your destination’s local laws, customs, and COVID-19 regulations.

Besides ensuring that one has the physical competencies and appropriate condition to undertake the activity, every effort should be made to ascertain if the trip organiser or guide is reliable and competent, and that appropriate safety and contingency plans are in place.
