โ ๏ธ Key Rule
Nepal has a very relaxed visa policy. VOA at KTM is straightforward. Overland from India: no visa needed for most.
Visa ≠ masuk. Visa hanya mengizinkan Anda naik pesawat dan mengajukan — petugas perbatasan memutuskan siapa yang masuk dan meminta bukti Anda akan keluar. Tiket keluar FlightProof adalah bukti itu: salah satu bukti keluar termurah di dunia — harga terendah untuk rute Anda. Terbit dalam kurang dari satu menit. Lewati imigrasi, lalu nikmati visanya.
Where they check — 1 documented
These are departure airports in Nepal, not destination countries — the check
happens at the gate you fly out of. Ratings come from countryAirports in the site bundle.

Why airlines refuse boarding without an onward ticket
Flying to a high-risk country? The airline โ not immigration โ checks you before boarding, and it will not board you even when you never show a "when is your return flight" ticket at the border. The reservation out is exactly what we confirm: any route out, on the date you choose โ that's it. Immigration passed: how long you stay depends on the entry stamp you receive.
Officer: โWhen is your return flight?โ
You: โIn two weeks โ here is the booking.โ
Stamp. Entry granted. That was the only question, and you had the answer ready.
Win-win: you buy a ticket out just to come in, you never fly it, and there is nothing to cancel afterwards โ no fare held, no refund to chase. The officer gets a straight answer; you keep your plans.
Still unsure how this works for your route? Ask our Travel AI โ it answers in seconds.
Di mana bukti tiket lanjutan diminta
Petugas maskapai melihat tiket internasional dan biasanya memeriksa bukti perjalanan lanjutan sebelum menerbitkan boarding pass.
Di beberapa gerbang, petugas memeriksa ulang dokumen perjalanan โ tiket yang sudah siap menghindarkan pemeriksaan ulang dan keterlambatan.
Petugas imigrasi dapat menanyakan bagaimana dan kapan Anda akan meninggalkan negara.

Why You Need an Onward Ticket for Nepal
Nepal has strict enforcement of onward travel requirements. Immigration at major airports checks for proof of departure. All airlines verify at check-in too.
If you arrive without proof of onward travel, you may face:
- Denied boarding by the airline at your departure airport
- Secondary inspection at immigration, causing delays of 1โ4 hours
- Denied entry and placement on the next available return flight (at your expense)
- Visa cancellation or a re-entry ban in serious cases
- Shorter stay granted (e.g., 15 days instead of 30)
FlightProof provides instant onward tickets that satisfy both airline check-in systems and immigration requirements worldwide. Your booking comes with a PNR-style booking reference and itinerary PDF delivered to your email within minutes.
