Nepal Visa for Indians: No Visa Required

Key Information

Key Requirements

• Adults flying between India and Nepal: valid Indian passport or original Election Commission Voter ID with photograph
• The Indian Embassy says downloaded Voter ID, Aadhaar, PAN and driving licence are not accepted for flights
• Minor-document guidance differs: Nepal airport pages allow a birth certificate, or school ID for under-18s accompanied by parents; the Indian Embassy's air-travel advisory lists only passport or original Voter ID. Confirm with the airline and immigration before relying on a child's alternative document

Step-by-Step Application Process

2. 2

   Prepare your original passport or Voter ID and confirm any child-document exception before departure

3. 3

Documents Required

• Valid Indian passport or original Election Commission Voter ID with photograph for adult India-Nepal air travel
• For children, confirm the alternative-document conditions described above before travel
