I’m currently helping someone plan their travel to Nepal, and I’m hoping to get some clarification and advice from anyone with similar experience.
The traveler is a holds a Canadian Refugee Travel Document (RTD).
We have already completed the online pre-arrival registration for Nepal, but when we contacted the Nepali Consular Office in Ottawa, they clearly stated that a visa must be obtained before departure, and that visa on arrival is NOT available for RTD holders.

C. Additional Documents Required for a Travel Document Holder
Also, If you or someone you know has flown this route on RTD, please share your experience. We want to avoid visa issues during layovers and are ready to consider longer or slightly more expensive routes if they simplify the visa situation.
If anyone has recent experience or advice to share (especially successful entries or known issues), your comments would be very helpful. We want to make sure everything is in order before booking flights and making further plans.
