Malagasy travelers can obtain their visa directly at the border or airport when arriving in Nepal. Bring a passport with at least six months' validity, passport photos, and the visa fee (often payable only in cash). Lines can be long at peak times, so check whether Nepal also offers an e-visa to skip the queue.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Nepal immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
