"My brother has been in Toronto for six years. Six years. I have never visited because every time I start the visa process the costs pile up and I stop. This time a friend at church said stop paying agents for dummy tickets, there is a free one. I did not believe her. But she was right. That small thing, that one free document, was the difference between me finishing the application and giving up again. I am writing this from Pearson Airport. I made it."
A hotel booking confirmation is what answers the accommodation question at the two points where Nepal actually checks: the airline desk before departure and the border on arrival. The booking does not need to be paid — a held confirmation showing your full name, the dates of your stay, the hotel address and a confirmation number is what an officer wants to see.
What a Nepal Border Officer Looks For on Your Hotel Booking
The booking must contain: full passenger name matching your passport, hotel name and exact street address in Nepal, check-in and check-out dates that align with your flight itinerary, total nights and a confirmation/reservation reference. MyJet24 produces this format directly from major booking-platform inventories — no fabricated details, no edited screenshots.

Nepal issues Visa on Arrival (VOA) at Kathmandu Tribhuvan (KTM): $30 (15 days), $50 (30 days), $125 (90 days) — payable in USD, EUR, GBP, or via credit card. The Nepal Immigration Department under the Ministry of Home Affairs requires every hotel to file the foreign-guest report electronically within 24 hours. For trekkers, the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) card is mandatory at NPR 2,000–4,000 (Annapurna, Everest base camp, Langtang); a hotel booking in Pokhara or Kathmandu is part of the TIMS application. The 2023 launch of Pokhara Regional International Airport (PKR) added a second international entry point.
| Nepal Pathway | Fee (USD) | Hotel Required? | TIMS Trekking |
|---|---|---|---|
| VOA 15-day | $30 | At KTM desk | Separate NTB fee |
| VOA 30-day | $50 | At KTM desk | NPR 2,000 ACAP |
| VOA 90-day | $125 | At KTM/PKR desk | NPR 4,000 NTB |
| Pre-arranged Visa | Embassy | Required | N/A |
Restricted areas: Upper Mustang, Manaslu, and Dolpo require additional restricted-area permits ($35–500/week). These are processed by Nepal Immigration with proof of accommodation along the trek.
Kathmandu KTM & Pokhara PKR Immigration Hotel Checks 2026
Kathmandu Tribhuvan (KTM) handles 95% of Nepalese international arrivals. Nepal Immigration runs accommodation spot-checks on around 6% of VOA arrivals. Pokhara Regional (PKR) opened in January 2023 with direct flights from Doha — accommodation checks here are stricter at around 11% for trekkers.
Hotel Booking for Nepal Visa Application
When the visa is issued on arrival in Nepal, nobody reviews a file beforehand. The airline still asks at check-in, and the visa counter asks again. Both want the same thing: hotel name, full address, and check-in and check-out dates inside the 15/30/90 days you are granted.
MyJet24 generates a free hotel booking PDF that includes all required details. No need to prepay a hotel before your visa is approved — save your money and reduce the financial risk of a visa rejection.
Nepal Visa & Entry Info
Why You Need a Hotel Booking to Enter Nepal
A visa on arrival is decided at the border, not at a consulate. The officer works through your arrival card, and the accommodation address on it is one of the few lines that can be checked against a document. Without one, the decision rests on what you can say rather than on what you can show.
The MyJet24 hotel booking PDF for Nepal includes the hotel name and full address, check-in and check-out dates matching your visa period (15/30/90 days), guest name as it appears on your passport, a unique confirmation number, and room type details. This is exactly what embassies need — and you can generate it in 30 seconds without prepaying any hotel.
