FeesNo visa fee
Visa types

Official source ↗

Under the 1950 Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Nepali citizens can live, work and travel in India without a visa. For tourism this means you simply book your train, bus or flight and carry valid identification.

Use a valid Nepali passport or a voter ID card for check-in and borders. If a planned stay is for work, study or a long period, or you need a protected or restricted area permit such as parts of the north-east, connect with the Indian authorities in advance because those categories do have separate steps.

We keep this page as plain-language guidance only. Because official rules can change, confirm on the Bureau of Immigration site, or ask our team and we will check it with you.

Visa rules change without notice. This guide is a starting point — confirm your category with Nihosi Travels & Tours or the official immigration source before you fly.
