Australia visa for Nepalese citizens
e-Visa (apply online)
🇳🇵 Nepalese passport → 🇦🇺 Australia: yes — an e-visa, applied for online before travel.
How it works
Apply online before you travel: passport scan, photo, fee. Approval typically takes a few days — apply at least a week ahead, print or save the approval, and carry it.
Heads-up: Australia commonly asks for proof of onward travel (visa/eTA stage and airline check-in).
Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →
Beyond Australia: the Nepal passport
The 🇳🇵 Nepal passport ranks #191 of 199 worldwide, entering 39 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Nepal passport: 🇫🇲 Micronesia (30 days), 🇸🇬 Singapore (30 days), 🇮🇳 India — all 39 open destinations.
Going the other way? Australian citizens visiting Nepal need a visa on arrival, issued at the border.
