Tourist visa (apply in advance — no visa on arrival): Nigerian citizen in United States → Nepal
Nigerian citizens cannot get a Nepal visa on arrival — apply in advance through a Nepalese Embassy or Diplomatic Mission via the official online mission portal (tourist visa 15/30/90 days, USD 30/50/125, multiple entry). Living in the United States, you apply the same way — file the application online on the official Embassy Mission Portal from the US and select a Nepalese Embassy or Diplomatic Mission to process it (for a US resident, the Embassy of Nepal in Washington, D.C. is the natural choice).
