Nepal Passport

📖About Nepal

The mobility picture for the Nepalese passport is restrictive in 2026: 96th globally, with only 35 destinations available through simplified entry routes. The direction has not all been positive: it stood at 76th in 2006. Access has still improved, rising from 20 to 35 destinations. The supporting scores are modest too, at 52 globally and 42 for openness. This passport leans heavily on arrival-based access rather than pure visa-free entry: 21 destinations offer visa on arrival, including Madagascar, Bangladesh, and Bolivia. There are also 12 visa-free destinations, such as Cook Islands, Dominica, and The Gambia. The practical advice is simple: check the visa route early and keep the 6-month validity buffer in mind before booking. Before relying on any route, verify the current rule with the destination government or embassy because entry policies can move without much notice.
