one way ticket?

just wondering if someone could help me out...

If I purchase a one way only ticket will it be an issue getting a 30-90 day visa to enter the country or should i have a return flight pre planned instead?Since i do not have a structured time line i have a feeling if i plan on being in nepal for a month i may want to stay longer.. and my next destination will be then be india.

Also is it an difficult procedure to get my visa in kathmandu before entering or should i get one here in canada before i leave?

cheers
Paul

Hi Paul

Nepal's immigration laws and procedures do not require you to have a booked flight (or other transport) out of the country. You will be able to get a visa on arrival without a problem. There have been no such problems with immigration reported on her in the last few years. There was one post about an airline trying to deny boarding but the problem was sorted out.

Indian visas are available in KTM, the official outsourced agency is Nepal SBI.

Doesn't say you need one here - http://nepalembassy.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9&Itemid=18 -

But the days of "floating like a leaf on the wind" are going away rapidly.

I can second Into-Thin-Air's confirmation, the officers processing the visa's only want to see a completed application form (with photographs), your passport and the fee in US$ (or other acceptable currency).

Sort out your Indian visa in Canada, one less job to do whilst travelling.

But given the visa clock ticks on issue and an undecided amount of time in Nepal (possibly elsewhere too) getting a visa on the road might be a better idea.

As many people exit (and enter) through land borders to India, and at least used to exit also to Tibet, there would be no point to require an onward flight ticket when entering Nepal. It has always been this way as far as I know.
