Indonesia Visa on Arrival for Nepalis — Eligibility, Fees & Duration

Indonesia Visa on Arrival for Nepalis — Eligibility, Fees & Duration

Many Nepali travelers planning to visit Bali or other parts of Indonesia often wonder whether they can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) at the airport. As per the latest 2025 Indonesian Immigration Rules, Nepal is not listed among the countries eligible for Visa on Arrival. This means Nepali passport holders must obtain a visa before entering Indonesia, either by applying online for a C1 Tourist Visa or a B211A Visit e-Visa.

The Visa on Arrival system in Indonesia is available for citizens of around 97 countries, including India, the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, and most European nations. This visa allows entry for tourism, business meetings, or short social visits and is valid for 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days, giving a maximum stay of 60 days. The VoA fee is IDR 500,000 (approximately NPR 4,500–5,000) and must be paid at the immigration counter upon arrival at designated international airports such as Bali (Ngurah Rai International Airport), Jakarta (Soekarno-Hatta International Airport), Batam, or Medan.

To obtain a Visa on Arrival, travelers must have a passport valid for at least six months, a return or onward ticket, and sufficient financial funds for the stay. However, since Nepal is not eligible for VoA, Nepali citizens must apply for a pre-approved visa before travel. The recommended visa option is the C1 or B211A Tourist e-Visa, which allows a 60-day stay and can be extended twice (up to 180 days). This e-Visa is issued by Indonesia’s Directorate General of Immigration and must be used within 90 days from the date of issue.

The visa application process for Nepali travelers is fully online, and it is advisable to apply through a verified agency like Yatra for Fun Pvt. Ltd., located at Koteshwor-32, Kathmandu.

Social Security Fund Accumulates Over Rs 102 Billion as Contributor Base Expands

Social Security Fund Accumulates Over Rs 102 Billion as Contributor Base Expands Nepal’s Social Security Fund (SSF) has crossed a significant financial milestone, with total contributions exceeding Rs 102 billion. As of Falgun 10, the fund has accumulated Rs 102.54 billion, reflecting steady growth since its operational launch. The figures signal both expanding participation and the gradual institutionalization of Nepal’s contributory social protection system. The social security schemes were formally introduced on Mangsir 11, 2075 BS, while contribution collection began from Shrawan 1, 2076 BS. Since then, the fund has gradually expanded its coverage across different categories of workers, marking a structural shift in how social protection is financed in Nepal.

Nepal Moves to Dismantle Informal Brokerage System in Real Estate Sector

Nepal Moves to Dismantle Informal Brokerage System in Real Estate Sector Department of Land Management and Archives has announced a major reform in Nepal’s real estate sector, aiming to end the long-standing dominance of informal brokers and middlemen. The department has decided to shift high-value property transactions in metropolitan and sub-metropolitan areas to a fully company-based system, marking one of the most significant regulatory changes in decades. Under the new policy, only licensed real estate companies will be allowed to facilitate property transactions in major urban centers. The department has so far authorized 36 companies to operate under this framework. According to Director Hari Prasad Pant, the system will become mandatory from Falgun 25, making company-based transactions a legal requirement rather than an option.

Dual ISIN System Proposed to Protect Public Investors from Misleading Share Sales

Dual ISIN System Proposed to Protect Public Investors from Misleading Share Sales CDS and Clearing Limited has announced plans to introduce a dual International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) system to prevent the misleading sale of promoter shares to general investors. The company said the proposed mechanism aims to strengthen transparency and ensure greater legal and financial protection for market participants. The provision has been included in the proposed Dematerialization Operation Directive, 2082, which has already been submitted to the Securities Board of Nepal for approval. Under the new framework, separate ISIN codes will be assigned to promoter shares and public shares, making it easier to distinguish between the two categories in the secondary market.

Energy Promises Return to Center Stage as Parties Revive Ambitious Election Agendas

Energy Promises Return to Center Stage as Parties Revive Ambitious Election Agendas As Nepal once again moves toward elections, energy has re-emerged as a central theme in political manifestos. Major parties are presenting electricity as the “key to prosperity,” raising targets for megawatt production, promoting export visions, and linking hydropower with green hydrogen and digital transformation. The numbers look impressive on paper, but for many voters, a fundamental question remains unanswered: how many of the past promises were actually fulfilled. During previous elections, similar commitments were made with equal enthusiasm. Parties pledged rapid expansion of generation capacity, higher per capita consumption, and improved export infrastructure. Yet, years later, critical problems related to power purchase agreements (PPAs), transmission bottlenecks, and regulatory uncertainty continue to limit the sector’s growth. Despite soaring targets, structural challenges remain largely unresolved.

Major Political Parties Prioritize Climate Change in Election Manifestos

Major Political Parties Prioritize Climate Change in Election Manifestos As Nepal approaches the House of Representatives election on Falgun 21, major political parties have given strong priority to climate change in their election manifestos. Rising environmental risks, frequent natural disasters, and growing pressure on livelihoods have made climate issues a central political concern. Although Nepal contributes very little to global carbon emissions, its geographical location and fragile mountain ecosystem have made it one of the most vulnerable countries to climate impacts. As a result, political parties have begun treating climate change as a national development challenge rather than only an environmental issue.

Excess Liquidity Piles Up as Banks Show Reluctance to Expand Credit Despite NRB’s Easing Measures

Excess Liquidity Piles Up as Banks Show Reluctance to Expand Credit Despite NRB’s Easing Measures Kathmandu — Despite Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) adopting an expansionary monetary policy stance in the current fiscal year aimed at boosting credit growth, commercial banks remain hesitant to significantly expand lending. Instead of aggressively pushing loans into the economy, banks are increasingly competing to park their surplus funds in short-term liquidity absorption instruments issued by the central bank. This behavior clearly signals a deeper lack of confidence in credit expansion prospects, even after regulatory easing measures. The data reveals a striking liquidity imbalance within the banking system. Although deposits have continued to grow steadily, credit demand has not kept pace. As a result, more than NPR 838 billion (8.38 trillion rupees) has accumulated at Nepal Rastra Bank in various forms, including deposit collection instruments, standing deposit facilities, and central bank bonds. This reflects the inability—or unwillingness—of banks to deploy funds into productive sectors of the economy.
