Getting a visa to Nepal in India
Hullo all,
I'm crossing over to Nepal at the Raniganj-Kakarbhitta border in May and I was wondering if it still currently cost USD30 to get a visa at the border or from the Nepali consulate in Kolkata. I enquired at the consulate over here in Singapore and they told me it would cost SGD65, roughly USD43, and extra USD13 that can be better spent on food/transport Would greatly appreciate it if anyone who has recently crossed the border or obtained a visa for Nepal in India could kindly verify the cost. ![]() Cheers! |

Still $30
It was still $30 at the Kathmandu Airport as of February 27th, 2007 (when I landed there). You need to have a passport photo (or maybe 2?) and they only accepted payment in dollars, not in Indian or Nepali rupees. The border might be different. Also, be forewarned that there have been extended strikes in the border areas, and several people I met while I was in Kathmandu had had to take cycle rickshaws or walk for 15-20 km from the border to find a bus. Again, not sure of the current situation.
