🇳🇵Visa on Arrival Countries for Nepali CitizensGet Stamped at the Border - the Full 2026 List (16)

16 countries offer a visa on arrival to Nepali passport holders in 2026, including Maldives, Bahrain, Burundi, Comoros and Djibouti.

A visa on arrival (VOA) is a visa issued at the border when you land, instead of at an embassy beforehand. You typically queue at a dedicated counter, pay a fee, and receive a stamp or sticker on the spot. It is not the same as visa-free entry: a visa is still issued, and the border authority can refuse it.

Requirements vary by destination, but commonly include a passport with at least six months validity, a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds, and the visa fee (often payable in cash). Always check the destination's official immigration website before flying - each country's rules and fees differ.

Visa-free means you board and enter with just your passport - no visa is issued at all. Visa on arrival means a visa is still required, but it is issued at the border rather than an embassy. Nepali passport holders can enter 7 countries visa-free in 2026 in addition to the 16 visa on arrival countries on this list.
