If
instead you are going to get your visa on arrival you will need to make sure
you have a colour passport photo with you and the correct amount of money with
you in US$. (There is an ATM at the airport, but it is often out of service so
do not rely on it). And a pen - you'll be lucky to find one at the airport!!
Once you
reach the visa hall, proceed to the 'Tourist without Visa' and queue. If you
are lucky and there is no queue you will be out within minutes, however,
depending on how many people are on your flight you may be waiting for up to an
hour. To get a jump on the queue you can download the form here immi.gov.np/download/app1.pdf.
The
maximum duration visa you can get on arrival is 3 months, although tourists are
permitted to stay up to 5 months a year (150 days). So if you wish to stay longer than
your three months you will need to apply for an extension which can be done in
either Kathmandu or Pokhara
