๐ŸŒWhy Iraqi passport holders need a visa for Nepal

Iraqi passport holders must apply through the Nepal embassy, consulate, or a designated visa application centre before travelling. Requirements are subject to change, so always verify at the official government portal.

โš ๏ธCommon Reasons Nepal Tourist Visa on Arrival โ€” 15, 30, or 90 days (Tribhuvan Airport and land borders) Applications Are Refused5

  • !
    Your nationality is not eligible for visa on arrival โ€” nationals of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria (and certain other countries) must obtain a visa from a Nepali diplomatic mission before travel; arriving without one leads to refused entry.
  • !
    Incomplete application โ€” a missing letter of invitation, police clearance certificate, or other supporting document requested by the Nepali mission.
  • !
    Insufficient proof of funds for the stay, or no confirmed onward / return ticket out of Nepal.
  • !
    Doubt about the genuineness of the tourism purpose, or about your intention to leave Nepal within the visa validity.
  • !
    A passport with less than six monthsโ€™ validity, or a prior overstay or immigration violation in Nepal.

Refusal grounds are at the discretion of the deciding officer and can change. This list is informational โ€” always verify current requirements at the official government portal.
