The number of countries Nepal passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries) and those Nepal passport holders can enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) or an electronic travel authorization is added up to determine the Nepal passport ranking relative to other global passports (eTA). There are now 12 visa-free countries for Nepal passport holders, 24 visa-on-arrival countries for Nepal passport holders, and 1 eTA destination. In total, Nepal passport holders can enter 37 countries without a visa, by visa on arrival, or using an eTA. As a result, the Nepal passport is ranked 105th in the world. In addition to these Nepal visa-free and visa-on-arrival countries, Nepal passport holders must also apply for a physical visa or an eVisa to visit 192 other countries (i.e. visa required countries).
