Why this verdict
Nepali citizens are encoded from the Kyrgyz Republic e-Visa portal's official ordinary-passport eligibility API. The API lists ordinary-passport visa-free access as "no" and facilitated visa regime as "no". Source note: There is a simplified procedure and the opportunity to obtain a tourist visa for up to 1 month, if you have a resident card of one of the following countries: 1. UAE 2. Kuwait 3. Qatar 4. Brunei Darussalam 5. Oman 6. Bahrain 7. KSA. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, family relocation, journalism, religious activity, diplomatic/service passports, overland routing, carrier handling, registration obligations, security checks and Kyrgyz border discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Kyrgyz Republic e-Visa portal before booking.
Conditional rules
- Airside international transit without leaving the international transit area Visa-free
The official Kyrgyz Republic e-Visa information page says travellers do not have to obtain a visa if they are not going to leave the international transit area.
- Transit through Kyrgyzstan to a third country after leaving the international transit area Visa required
Up to 3 days. The official information page describes Transit Visa type TR for transit through Kyrgyzstan to third countries with validity up to 3 calendar days; visa-free ordinary-passport travellers can instead use their normal visa-free route when it applies.
- Tourist visa applied from inside Kyrgyzstan Visa required
The official tourist-visa API says tourist visa type TS cannot be issued while the foreign national is on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic.
- Work, study, residence, family, religion, journalism or other non-tourist purpose Visa required
The e-Visa information page lists separate visa categories for study, family, religion, special work, relatives, Sapar/business/event and other purposes; the ordinary tourist/visitor row should not be used for those routes.
- Resident card of UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Brunei Darussalam, Oman, Bahrain or Saudi Arabia Conditional
Up to 30 days. For this nationality, the official eligibility API note says there is a simplified procedure and an opportunity to obtain a tourist visa for up to one month if the traveller has a resident card of one of the listed countries. This is not encoded as ordinary passport-only visa-free access.
