Why this verdict

Nigerian citizens' entry guidance is based on Nepal's official destination source set (Nepal visa-before-arrival cohort or document ambiguity). This guidance 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.
