Nepal starts VOA for vaccinated tourists

Nepal government has decided to provide a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for vaccinated travelers and one among them is removing quarantine policy for fully-vaccinated foreign travellers. People who have received both doses of COVID-19 vaccine are not required to quarantine any more. The decision was taken to boost tourism in the pandemic-hit country.

As per new travel protocols, Nepal's Tourism Ministry said that vaccinated foreign tourists entering Nepal need to submit a negative PCR test report form within 72 hours prior to departure. They also need to submit documents proving that both doses of vaccines have been taken.

People arriving by land can also obtain a Visa on Arrival but need to follow the guidance. All the travellers have to fill in online departure form.

Those who are not vaccinated but have a PCR negative report can also enter the country but Quarantine policy will imply.

VOA was stopped in March 2021, but those who had a pre arrival recommendation letter from the Department on Immigration were permitted to enter without visa into Nepal
