Step-by-step: how to apply from Nepal

1. Confirm the visa type and current requirements on the official portal (https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/index.html (Hong Kong Immigration Department) · https://www.gov.hk/en/nonresidents/visarequire/visasentrypermits/applyvisit_transit.htm (online visit visa) · https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/evisaonline.html (e-Visa downloads)).
2. Gather and scan your documents; book your appointment at CVASC Kathmandu (preferred for Nepalis) — Rising Mall, Kamaladi or start the online form.
3. Prepare proof of onward travel and accommodation — many applicants use Yatra's verifiable reservations rather than buying non-refundable bookings before approval.
4. Pay the visa fee, submit (and give biometrics if required), then track your application.

Typical costs & processing time
