Why this verdict

Nigerian citizens are encoded from Nepal's official destination source set (Nepal visa-before-arrival cohort or document ambiguity). 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

Work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay Visa required

The short-visitor rule encoded here does not cover work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay.
Diplomatic, official, refugee or special travel document Conditional

Nepal's ordinary tourist visa-on-arrival flow does not cover every travel document. Check the responsible Nepalese mission for special documents.
