How far in advance of my trip should I request the pre-visa to Nepal?

You can apply for the pre-visa for Nepal at least 5 days prior to your intended travel date. However, it is recommended to apply at least 15 days in advance to ensure everything is in order and to avoid last-minute issues with flights or accommodation.

Reasons to Apply in Advance

1. Application process: Although the process for the pre-visa is usually fast, applying 15 days in advance provides a safety margin against any eventuality during the approval process.
2. Confirmation and monitoring: After submitting the application, it's important to regularly check the status of your pre-visa through the online system. This allows you to stay informed about any updates or requests for additional information.
3. Flexibility in travel plans: Applying for the pre-visa in advance gives you more flexibility to plan other aspects of your trip, such as accommodation bookings, transportation, and tourist activities.
