Why this verdict

Iranian citizens are encoded from Nepal's official destination source set (Nepal tourist visa-on-arrival route). This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, tourism / short visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, long-term stay, diplomatic/service passports, special travel documents, route-specific waivers, airline handling and immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.

Conditional rules

Diplomatic, official, refugee or special travel document Conditional
