Poland to Nepal
Do I need a visa for Nepal?
You must have a visa to enter Nepal and it must be obtained before departure. The permission is a physical visa issued by Nepalese authorities and placed in your passport. This visa does not permit paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
Your ordinary Polish passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Nepal and have at least two blank pages. Entry with a temporary passport is not possible for this route. A national identity card and a driving licence are not accepted for entry.
Are vaccinations required for Nepal?
There are no mandatory vaccinations for entry on this route.
No vaccinations are specifically recommended by the official guidance for this route.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
The official sources supplied do not state a standard permitted length of stay for this tourist permission; the visa’s validity varies by case. For extensions or penalties, follow the instructions printed on your visa and those given by Nepalese authorities.
Can children travel on this route?
If you are under 18 you must travel on a passport with the visa; no additional parental-consent or notarised permission is required for minors on this route.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended for your trip to Nepal but it is not a condition of entry for this route.
Where do I get the visa?
The visa application is made through the official Nepalese application portal linked on this page. The application process results in a physical visa placed in your passport by Nepalese authorities. Nepal does not maintain an embassy in Poland; consular assistance may therefore be limited.
Frequently asked questions
How long must my passport be valid and how many blank pages are needed?
Your ordinary Polish passport must be valid for at least six months from the date you enter Nepal and have at least two blank pages.
Can I travel on a temporary passport?
A temporary passport is accepted for travel to Nepal only if the route’s accepted documents list includes it. The official page says entry with a temporary passport is not possible for this route, so you must travel on an ordinary passport.
Can I use my Polish ID card or driving licence instead of a passport?
A Polish national identity card and a driving licence are not accepted for entry to Nepal; you must carry a valid passport with the visa.
Will I need to show bank statements or proof of funds at the border?
You will not be required to show proof of funds on arrival; official guidance for this route states no proof of funds is required.
What documents do children need to travel to Nepal?
If you are under 18, you need the same travel document as an adult: a valid passport with the visa. No additional parental-consent documents are required for minors on this route.
Will I need to complete an arrival card or register after I land?
There is no arrival registration or entry card required for this route; the official guidance states no arrival registration or entry card is needed.
Can I get consular help from Poland while I’m in Nepal?
Because Nepal keeps no embassy in Poland, consular assistance from Polish missions in Nepal may be limited; the nearest Polish diplomatic representation for consular matters is not in Kathmandu.
Is there an eTA or electronic authorisation instead of a visa?
You apply for the visa through the official Nepalese application portal linked on this page; do not expect to receive an electronic travel authorisation in place of a physical visa, because the permission for this route is a physical visa.
What do I actually receive once my application is approved?
The visa is issued and stamped into your passport by Nepalese authorities; the official portal is the route to apply and the final permission is the physical visa placed in your passport.
How long am I allowed to stay on the tourist visa?
The official page gives no standard length of stay for this tourist permission for this route; the visa’s validity varies by case, so check the visa you are granted for its specific dates and conditions.
What will border officials check when I arrive?
Carry your passport with the visa and two blank pages available; border staff check those documents on arrival and they are the basis for admission.
Should I go to an embassy or use the online portal to get my visa?
The official Nepalese application portal linked on this page is the correct place to apply; the embassy or consulate can provide consular assistance, but the application process for the visa is via the official portal.
What happens if my passport is nearly full or has less than six months’ validity?
If your passport does not meet the six-month validity or two-blank-page requirement, Nepalese authorities may refuse admission; ensure your passport meets those exact requirements before travel.
