Yes, tourist visas can be extended while you are in Nepal, and many travellers do this if they decide to stay longer than originally planned. Visa extensions are handled by the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
Extensions are typically granted for a minimum number of days and are charged on a per-day basis, up to the maximum stay allowed for tourist visas within a calendar year. Travellers are required to bring their passport, a completed application form, and the extension fee. The process is generally straightforward, but it can take a few hours depending on queues and season.
It’s important to apply for an extension before your current visa expires. Overstaying, even by a single day, can result in fines and delays when leaving the country. Planning ahead and allowing a buffer day is strongly recommended.
Visa extension rules and fees can change, so checking the latest information from official immigration sources or asking at your accommodation can help avoid confusion.
