Nepal (Kathmandu) Immigration Guide | Step-by-Step Tutorial 📒
✈️ Pre-Travel Prep 1️⃣ Visa (E-Visa/On-Arrival) ✅ Chinese passport (valid for 6+ months) ✅ Visa-free for Chinese citizens (15/30/90 days) 🌟 E-Visa: Check my previous guide—approved in 3 mins! 🌟 On-Arrival: Use the self-service kiosk at immigration → Select Tourist Visa → Fill in details → Submit. ⚠️ Save a screenshot (no need to print). 2️⃣ SIM Card 📱 By land? Buy a SIM beforehand (stay connected!). 📱 By air? Get one at Kathmandu Airport (cheaper than in China). 3️⃣ Meds for Stomach Issues 💊 Pack anti-diarrheal meds—trust me, you’ll thank me later. 🎈 Arrival Process Deplane → Enter immigration hall. E-Visa? Skip the kiosk. On-arrival? Use the machine. Queue for passport stamp (get that sticker visa!). Baggage claim → Double security checks (yes, two!). Buy SIM/exchange cash → Exit & grab a taxi. 🛃 Immigration Show passport + visa screenshot. Smooth & fast—just a stamp and you’re in! 💰 Currency Exchange Airport rate sucks (1:17). Thamel rate: 1:19 at Jiangnan Pharmacy (near Hotel Jagat). Payment: Alipay (blue app) only—no WeChat (green app). ☎️ Mobile Networks 📶 Ncell: Best in cities. 📶 NTC (Nepal Telecom): Only option for trekking (works in mountains). Check airport vs. city prices before buying! 🚗 Transport Use inDrive/Bolt (inDrive is cheaper). Taxi to Thamel: 400-500 NPR (vs. 1000 NPR at airport). Pro tip: Share a cab with fellow travelers (most head to Thamel!). 🏠 Accommodation Solo? Try hostels! Dorm bed w/ AC: ~¥30/night (book via Agoda). #FollowABookToACity #Nepal #KathmanduArrival #SoloTravel #TravelDiaries 🌏✨
