Need a flight itinerary for visa application from Nepal?
The form is asking for a plan it can verify, not a ticket paid for before anyone has agreed to anything.
A Nepali passport needs a visa arranged well ahead of departure for almost every destination that matters here – study places in Australia, the UK, Canada, Japan and the US; work and visit travel to the Gulf and South Korea; visitor visas for the Schengen countries. Each of those applications is built around the same three questions: where, when, and on what flight. A flight itinerary answers all three in one document.
The order things run in is the difficulty. A consulate, or the VFS Global centre handling intake in Kathmandu, wants that travel plan attached before your file is even opened, and it will not say up front how long the review will take. An interview slot, a biometrics appointment, or – for a study visa – a No Objection Certificate from the Ministry of Education, can each add weeks before a decision is anywhere close.
The rupee makes early spending riskier than it looks. The Nepali rupee is pegged to the Indian rupee rather than floating freely, so what an international fare actually costs moves with decisions taken in Delhi, not Kathmandu – a variable most applicants have no way to track. Buy the fare early and change or cancel it later, and that unpredictability is money lost on top of the change fee.
Missions are not asking anyone to buy a ticket. UK guidance says explicitly not to book travel before a decision, and Schengen consulates want a plan rather than a receipt. What actually gets checked is whether that plan holds together: a flight that exists, dates that agree with the rest of the file, and – for a nationality that faces closer scrutiny on genuine study or visit intent than most, particularly for Australian student visas – a document specific enough to survive that scrutiny.
A file with no travel plan, or one too vague to check, tends to come back with more questions rather than fewer. "I'll book it once the visa comes through" is not something an officer can look up. An airline, a flight number and a reference that resolves gives the file something concrete instead.

What a flight reservation for visa costs from Nepal
One flat fee per itinerary, plus a small amount for each traveller after the first, wherever in Nepal you are applying from. What it stands in for is a full international fare out of Kathmandu, paid for before anyone has actually agreed to let you travel.
A single flight in one direction – exactly what a study visa or a one-way work move needs, with no return leg to account for.
Outbound and return on one document. This is what most Nepali visitor and short-term visa files are actually checked against.
One flat rate no matter how many legs, including a Schengen trip that enters through one member state and leaves through another.
- Each extra adult Rs 2,300 · $15
- Each child (2–11) Rs 1,500 · $10
- Each infant (under 2) Rs 750 · $5
Charged in US dollars ($15 / $19 / $25). NPR figures are indicative, converted at Rs 152.39 to $1 on 8 August 2026 – your bank sets its own rate on the day, so expect a small difference.
Your dummy flight ticket: search, name, pay, receive
About a minute in total, with nothing to sort out beforehand.

Enter your route and dates out of Kathmandu, or wherever your trip is actually starting from. The result is checked against live schedules, so what you pick genuinely operates.
Add each traveller
Enter names exactly as they print on the passport's data page, in the same order. Everyone travelling together goes on the one document.
Pay Rs 2,300
Rs 2,300 one-way, Rs 2,900 round-trip, Rs 3,800 multi-city, on a Nepali Visa or Mastercard. Billed in US dollars, and your bank sets the rupee figure.

Paying for your provisional flight booking from Nepal
Nothing to arrange beforehand. A Nepali-issued Visa or Mastercard works at checkout, and the conversion is handled automatically.
The card you already have
A Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card from a Nepali bank – Nabil, NIC Asia, Global IME, Himalayan Bank and others all issue them – works directly. Nepal Rastra Bank rules mean some cards cap or flag foreign spending, so it is worth checking your limit before you pay.
No separate exchange to arrange
Nothing to convert by hand and no forex facility to visit first. Stripe settles the charge in US dollars on its end, and you pay with the card in your wallet.
What actually shows up on your statement
About Rs 2,300 one-way, Rs 2,900 round-trip and Rs 3,800 multi-city. The charge itself settles in US dollars, so your bank fixes the rupee figure on the day, and it can land slightly away from the estimate here.
Payment runs through Stripe over an encrypted connection – your card details reach Stripe directly and never pass through our servers. Nothing here is settled by bank transfer, and we will never ask you to send one.
What your flight itinerary for visa application delivers
A single PDF, ready moments after you pay, formatted the way a visa officer expects a travel document to read.
A provisional flight booking that's genuinely operating
Airline, flight number and aircraft type for every leg, taken from live flight data rather than filled in from a template.
The complete routing
Departure and arrival airports, with dates and times for every leg, and any layover shown openly rather than tidied out of the summary.
Every name printed correctly
Each traveller's name exactly as their passport shows it, next to a booking reference and PNR.
A booking reference that actually works
Look it up and it resolves, because a genuine reservation sits behind it. That is the whole reason to use one instead of a mock-up.
Departure airports for your dummy flight ticket from Nepal
Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is the departure point in the search index for Nepal, and the airport almost every application filed in the country would use regardless. If your trip actually starts somewhere outside Nepal, search that airport instead and build the itinerary from there.
| Airport | City | IATA |
|---|---|---|
| Tribhuvan International Airport | Kathmandu | KTM |
The route most often on Australian student visa files. A specific, checkable flight matters more here than a general statement of study intent.
UK Standard Visitor and student files. Direct or one-stop routings make a return or arrival date easy to evidence without a connection that needs explaining.
A Schengen entry point with wide onward connections. Multi-city covers a trip entering through one member state and leaving through another at no extra charge.
B1/B2 files after an interview at the US Embassy in Kathmandu, the only post in Nepal conducting them. Set departure after the interview date, never before it.
Canadian visitor and study permit files, processed through the VFS centre in Kathmandu. Processing can run long enough that a purchased fare would very likely need moving before any decision arrives.
Japanese student and short-term visa files. Routing and dates need to agree with whatever invitation or itinerary you already submitted.
Nepali visa applications that ask for a flight reservation
What gets checked differs by destination and by who is handling the file. These are the corridors Nepali applicants most often need an itinerary for, and what each one is actually looking at.
Australia
Subclass 500 student visa files are read closely for genuine study intent, and Nepali applicants see more scrutiny on this than most nationalities. A flight that actually checks out is worth more here than a paragraph explaining your plans.
United Kingdom
Standard Visitor and student applications are lodged online with biometrics given at a centre in Kathmandu. Home Office guidance is explicit that you should not book travel before a decision.
Schengen Area
VFS Global's Kathmandu centre handles intake for most member states. Several consulates say directly that a reservation is enough at this stage, and a purchased ticket is not what is being asked for.
United States
B1/B2 interviews happen at the US Embassy in Kathmandu, the only diplomatic post in Nepal conducting them. The officer weighs ties to Nepal and intent to return, which an itinerary supports without committing you to a fare.
Canada
Temporary resident visa and study permit files go through the VFS centre in Kathmandu, biometrics included. Processing from Nepal often runs long enough that a purchased ticket would need changing before a decision lands.
Japan
Student and short-term visa applications are usually filed with an accredited agent in Kathmandu. Routing and dates need to match whatever invitation or acceptance letter is already in the file.
South Korea
Short-term visit visas are filed through the Korean Visa Application Centre in Kathmandu, separately from the government-run EPS work permit route. Dates need to agree with any invitation already submitted.
What each mission asks for shifts without much warning. Confirm the current checklist with your consulate or application centre before you submit.
What gets a Nepali flight reservation for visa sent back
Fault rarely sits with the document itself. Nearly every rejection comes down to the itinerary contradicting something else already in the file.
A name out of step with the passport
Nepali passports print the surname and given names in separate fields on the data page, and it is easy to enter them in the wrong order on a form that just asks for 'first name' and 'last name'. Copy each traveller's name exactly as the data page shows it.
A trip that doesn't add up
An itinerary is read next to the hotel booking, invitation letter, admission letter or NOC as one connected account of the trip. Eight days of flights against a three-night hotel booking is a mismatch an officer will notice immediately, and there is no chance to explain it afterwards.
Missing the return leg entirely
Visitor and tourist categories exist specifically to weigh whether you intend to come back. A one-way itinerary on that kind of application answers the wrong question, whatever your actual plans happen to be.
Ordered long before the appointment
An itinerary generated months ahead of an interview, biometrics slot or NOC appointment can show dates that have already passed by the time the file is actually reviewed. Order it close to submission instead, with departure sitting after your appointment date.
An edited image instead of a real booking
A doctored screenshot, or a reference that goes nowhere when checked, reads as an attempt to mislead rather than a weak file – and that conclusion follows you well beyond this one application. Everything here is generated from live flight data with a reference that genuinely resolves.
Buying the actual fare as a backup
Paying for the real ticket 'just in case' usually ends in a change fee once an interview date shifts, or the fare being lost outright on a refusal. The reservation is what absorbs that risk instead. Buy the actual ticket only once the visa is granted.
Questions about your flight itinerary for visa from Nepal
Questions applicants filing from Kathmandu and the rest of Nepal ask most before they order.
Do I need to buy an actual airline ticket?
No – this is a flight itinerary for a visa application, not a paid ticket. The real fare gets booked once the visa is approved. Committing to one out of Kathmandu before a decision is exactly what this avoids, and once the visa is granted you can book whatever flight actually suits your travel dates.
How much does a flight itinerary cost from Nepal?
About Rs 2,300 one-way, Rs 2,900 round-trip and Rs 3,800 multi-city, however many legs the multi-city document covers. Extra travellers cost about Rs 2,300 per adult, Rs 1,500 per child aged 2–11 and Rs 750 per infant. These figures convert the USD prices of $15, $19 and $25 – your card is charged in US dollars, so your bank fixes the rupee amount on the day.
Can I pay from Nepal with my bank card?
Yes, with a Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card from a Nepali bank. Some cards carry a foreign-spending cap set by Nepal Rastra Bank rules, so it is worth checking that limit before you pay. Stripe processes the charge in US dollars, and your bank converts it to rupees on the statement.
Is this a real booking, or something made up?
It is a genuine reservation on a flight that actually operates. The airline, flight number, aircraft, routing and times all come from live flight data, and the document carries a booking reference and PNR you can look up again through Order Lookup. What it is not is a paid ticket – and at the application stage, a reservation is what most missions are actually asking for.
How quickly will it reach me?
Within seconds of paying, almost always inside a minute. Ordering it the same morning as an appointment at the consulate or application centre in Kathmandu works fine. Order Lookup fetches it again later using your email and booking reference.
Will any embassy accept it?
Most missions asking for evidence of a travel plan will accept a reservation like this one. Exactly what is required still varies by country and sometimes by the individual officer, so check your current checklist. Where flight evidence rather than a paid ticket is what's wanted, this is the right document.
Which Nepali airport can I depart from?
Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is the one in the search index, which covers nearly every application filed from Nepal anyway. Building an itinerary that departs from outside Nepal entirely is no obstacle either, if your trip actually starts there.
Would the consulate actually check the reference?
Possibly, and nothing about your file changes either way, because the flight is real and the reference will hold up. The actual question a mission is answering is whether your travel plan is coherent, not whether an airline has already been paid – and that is precisely what separates a genuine reservation from an edited screenshot.
Does this work for a study visa, or only visitor visas?
Yes – a study visa file needs the same evidence of a travel plan as a visitor application, usually alongside an admission letter and a No Objection Certificate. This covers the flight side of that file; the NOC and the acceptance letter are separate documents you get from the university and the Ministry of Education.
How long do the dates on it stay accurate?
Whatever you picked stays on the document until you replace it – it does not update itself. Since interview and processing timelines can move, the safest approach is ordering it close to submission with departure set after your appointment. A replacement is the same Rs 2,300 if your plans shift.
What happens if the visa is refused?
The fee covers producing and delivering the document, so it does not depend on the outcome – that decision sits entirely with the mission. What it limits is the size of the exposure: Rs 2,300 to Rs 3,800, rather than an international fare out of Nepal that is often non-refundable by the time an answer arrives.
