Why this verdict
Nepali citizens are treated as visa-required because Senegal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says nationals of countries not mentioned in the no-visa list need a visa to enter Senegal. This guidance is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passports, refugee travel documents, special travel documents, airline checks, health rules, consular handling, border discretion and current Senegal MFA instructions can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with Senegal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the responsible consulate or carrier before booking.
Conditional rules
- Traveller holds a passport listed by Senegal MFA for less-than-3-month no-visa entry Visa-free
The MFA page names specific African, European and other countries whose nationals do not need a visa for stays of less than 3 months, subject to at least 6 months document validity. It does not express the stay as a fixed number of days.
- Trip is work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passport, official duty or another non-tourist short visit Visa required
This row covers ordinary-passport visitor travel only. Use the relevant Senegalese consulate, visa or residence route for non-tourist, residence or special-document travel.

The Senegal MFA page says people with a refugee travel document also need a visa.
