Nepal visa on arrival payment method
I will be arriving in Nepal tomorrow and I’m getting mixed information on how to pay for the visa on arrival.
Some sites say cash only, some say I can use a credit card.
Does anyone have recent experience with paying for the visa on arrival? My US currency is quite low, but I have quite a bit of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai currency.
I will be arriving at Kathmandu international airport.
Best Answer
Lonely Planet says the Katmandu airport officials accept "any major currency" but land borders only accept USD.
The official site says:
While you can use different modes of payments (at visa fees collection counter), we advise you to carry some cash to be on the safe side.
This site is a bit more dubious but claims "Euro, Swiss Franc, Pound Sterling, US Dollar, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, Singapore Dollar and Japanese Yen".
Since you have none of those currencies (perhaps the fact Chinese don't have to pay for the visa means they don't accept CNY), and it appears credit card payment is probably not possible, at least not reliably, I would suggest carrying something like USD or maybe Euros since "tomorrow" is very close.
