goFLY Limited — a trusted visa processing agency in Bangladesh — supports Nepal Tourist/Visit visas for Bangladeshi passport holders. Our services include Visa on Arrival guidance, online pre-application assistance, and Embassy of Nepal in Dhaka submission support.
Study, work, business resident visas, or press visas. These categories require direct Embassy processing before travel. For non-tourist visa categories, please consult the Embassy of Nepal in Dhaka directly.
Search terms like "Nepal visa free for Bangladeshi" are misleading. Bangladesh passport holders are NOT visa-free in Nepal. They must use Visa on Arrival or Embassy-issued visas. Only Indian nationals are visa-exempt for Nepal.

| Topic | Details |
|---|---|
| Channels | Visa on Arrival at Kathmandu TIA and designated land borders; or Embassy of Nepal in Dhaka |
| Eligible purpose | Tourism/visit, short leisure trips; no paid employment |
| Non-tourist | Business/Study/Work/Press visas require Embassy processing before travel |
| Appointment | Embassy of Nepal in Dhaka may require prior appointment; check notices |
| Passport | Valid ≥6 months from entry, with empty pages |
| Payment | Cash strongly preferred at arrival (USD recommended); limited card facilities may be available but unreliable |
| Extensions | Available at Immigration offices in Kathmandu/Pokhara; fees apply |
| Entry type | Tourist visas are commonly multiple-entry; confirm at the counter if planning India side trips |
| By road | Visa issuance at major land borders; Indian visa required to transit India by road from Bangladesh |
Ideal for tourists flying to Kathmandu or entering via open land borders. Simple, fast, and widely used by Bangladeshi citizens. Just bring passport, photo, USD cash, and accommodation details.
Good if you want the visa sticker before departure, if traveling with minors or special cases, or when entering during peak times/holidays. Also required for non-tourist categories (Business/Study/Work/Press).
If you plan a quick side trip to India and re-enter Nepal, ask the officer to endorse multiple-entry on your tourist visa at issuance. This saves you from applying for a new visa upon return.
20-90 minutes depending on arrival waves and holidays. Carry USD cash to avoid delays. Peak seasons (Mar-May, Sep-Nov) may have longer queues.
You MUST hold a valid Indian visa for overland transit. Plan India visa application time accordingly before your Nepal trip.
