Singapore Visa-free Typically 30 days (social visit pass, exact stay set by ICA officer on the e-Pass)
Conditions
- Passport valid ≥ 6 months
- Submit the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) online within 3 days before arrival — free, at ica.gov.sg (beware paid third-party sites)
- Onward/return ticket, proof of funds and accommodation; entry is at officer's discretion
This reflects a change — Nepal was previously on Singapore's visa-required (assessment-level) list, and some Nepal-based agency websites still describe the old SGD 30 agent-based visa process. Before booking, re-check the ICA page above and/or run your passport through ICA's official e-Service; if the ICA list ever re-adds Nepal, the agent/e-visa route applies again.
Nepal-specific evidence
ICA's official "Check if You Need an Entry Visa" page enumerates every nationality that requires a Singapore visa (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, etc.) — Nepal does NOT appear on the list, and under ICA's framework travellers not on the list are visa-exempt for short visits. Multiple 2025–2026 sources confirm 30-day visa-free entry for Nepali passports with the SG Arrival Card.

Recent (Jan 2026) Nepal-based travel guidance and multiple 2026 aggregators consistently list The Gambia as visa-free for Nepali passports for up to 90 days. No official Gambian government page naming Nepal was located, so this rests on concordant recent secondary sources only.

Palestinian Territories Nominal Nominally visa-free (Palestinian Authority imposes no visa on Nepali passports)

- Gaza is not accessible to tourists

Conflicting recent guidance: general sources (VisitWorld, Apr 2026) say VOA is available to Nepali citizens at Phnom Penh/Siem Reap airports and land borders, but Aug 2026 Nepal-specific guidance referencing Cambodia's Honorary Consulate in Kathmandu warns Nepali applicants face extra scrutiny (~10 working days eVisa processing vs 3 for others) and advises NOT to rely on VOA. Get the T-class eVisa before booking.
Nepal-specific evidence
Nepal-specific 2026 guidance confirms visitors from Nepal can generally obtain a visa on arrival at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports and at land checkpoints, with the official eVisa (evisa.gov.kh) as the safer alternative; the e-Arrival Card became mandatory for all international visitors from July 2024.

Mexico With visa Up to 180 days (officer's discretion)
Requires: A valid visa (any category) from the US, Canada, Japan, the UK, or a Schengen state — or permanent residence of those countries or a Pacific Alliance state
Benefit: Enter Mexico without a Mexican visa for tourism, transit, or business
Conditions
- Supporting visa must be valid (unexpired) and affixed in the passport on the date of entry
- Some Mexican consulates specify MULTIPLE-ENTRY visas, and airlines may require the visa to have been used at least once to enter the issuing country — safest with a used multiple-entry US/UK/Schengen/Canada/Japan visa
- Expired US visa + EAD card / I-797 / I-20 / DS-2019 / Advance Parole does NOT qualify
- Complete the FMM/entry registration as directed
Nepal-specific evidence
Official Mexican consulate (SRE, gob.mx domain) states that ALL foreign visitors, regardless of nationality, travelling for tourism, business or transit are exempt from a Mexican visa if they hold a valid visa issued by Canada, Japan, the USA, the UK or a Schengen country — "regardless of nationality" covers Nepali passports.

Georgia With visa 90 days
Requires: A valid visa OR residence permit from the US, UK, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, South Korea, a Schengen state, or a GCC state
Benefit: Visa-free entry with a valid visa or residence permit from any listed country
Conditions
- Supporting visa/permit must be valid at entry; carry the physical document
Nepal-specific evidence
Consular Dept of the Georgian MFA (official) publishes the rule that holders of valid visas or residence permits of the listed countries may enter and stay 90 days in any 180-day period without a Georgian visa; Georgia's national tourism portal (georgia.travel) separately names Nepal among visa-required nationalities, confirming this shortcut is what applies to ordinary Nepali passports.
Caveat: Travellers relying on GCC residence permits have reported occasional refusals; a US/UK/Schengen/Japan/Canada/Australia/NZ/Israel/Korea visa or permit is safer.

- UK and Ireland count via RESIDENCE only, not a visitor visa (Ireland is not in Schengen)
Nepal-specific evidence
DGME's Directrices Generales de Visas de Ingreso y Permanencia para No Residentes, published in Alcance N° 148 to La Gaceta N° 216 on 17 Nov 2025, lists Nepal in the Third Group (consular visa, 180-day passport validity, 30 days extendable to 90) and separately sets out the exceptions under which third- and fourth-group nationals may dispense with the consular visa.
Caveat: Sources disagree on the Schengen minimum validity — DGME's own page states 1 calendar day, while Fragomen's client alert reports 90 days remaining. Assume 90 days to be safe. Airline check-in staff frequently do not know this rule, so carry a printed Spanish-language copy of the DGME exceptions page. Extension rights are unclear — the group allows 30 days extendable to 90, but the exempted stay is capped by supporting-visa validity.

United Kingdom Transit visa Airside transit only (same day, same airport)
Requires: A valid visa or permanent residence for the US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand; an EEA/Switzerland residence permit or long-stay "D" visa; or a valid Irish biometric visa
Benefit: Change flights airside without a Direct Airside Transit Visa (DATV)
Conditions
- You arrive and leave by air, depart the same day from the same airport, and hold the documents for your onward destination

Nepal-specific evidence
GOV.UK (UK Home Office) sets the DATV exemptions by document held: a valid US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand visa or permanent residence, an EEA/Switzerland residence permit or category-D visa, or an Irish BC/BC BIVS biometric visa. Nepali passport holders without one of these need a DATV to transit airside.

- Belgium extends the Schengen ATV to extra nationalities and is reported to include Nepal (reconfirm — see source); Nepali service or special passports are generally exempt
- Exempt with a Schengen visa or an EU/EEA/Switzerland residence permit
- Exempt with a residence card of Andorra, Canada, Japan, the US or San Marino

Netherlands Transit visa Airside transit only

- Nepali passport holders need an airport transit visa to transit a Dutch airport; the Netherlands runs a Nepal-specific ATV application route via VFS Global in Kathmandu
- Standard Schengen exemptions apply — a Schengen visa, an EU/EEA/Switzerland residence permit, or a residence card of Andorra, Canada, Japan, the US or San Marino
Nepal-specific evidence
The Government of the Netherlands publishes a Nepal-specific page for applying for an airport transit visa ("Applying for an airport transit visa for the Netherlands in Nepal"), and Nepal appears on the Dutch ATV-required nationality list; Nepali applicants apply through VFS Global in Kathmandu. This is a national ATV extension under Annex 7B of the EU Visa Code.

Benefit: Transit the international zone of a Romanian airport without an Airport Transit Visa (ATV, Type A)
Conditions
- Romania extends the Schengen ATV to extra nationalities and is reported to include Nepal (reconfirm — see source)
- The ATV does not allow you to leave the transit zone; transit through more than one airport needs a Type C visa
- Standard Schengen exemptions apply — a Schengen visa, an EU/EEA/Switzerland residence permit, or a residence card of Andorra, Canada, Japan, the US or San Marino
Nepal-specific evidence
Romania applies a national airport-transit-visa extension under Annex 7B of the EU Visa Code, on top of the common Schengen ATV list, and its guidance notes the ATV does not permit leaving the transit zone (multi-airport transit needs a Type C visa). Secondary guidance reports Nepal among the nationalities it covers, but the page was unreachable to automated checks, so Nepal's inclusion was NOT independently confirmed.
