Pathway overview

At a glance

Students accepted by an eligible university in Nepal can apply for study permission with a recommendation from the education ministry. The admission receipt and ministry support are both part of the application.

Admission required?
Yes, with the admission receipt
Official support
An education-ministry recommendation
Funding evidence
A recent bank statement

Summary

Nepal’s study visa allows an accepted student to stay for their education, based on the school’s admission receipt and the education ministry’s recommendation. The student also provides recent banking evidence to support the stay. These documents connect the academic place to the immigration decision; paying tuition alone does not complete the application.

A recent bank statement supports the funding requirement, alongside the institution’s admission receipt. The length of permission depends on the approved course and ministry recommendation, with grants of up to one year under the cited guidance.
