16 April, Kathmandu: The Immigration Office of Tribhuvan International Airport has requested the tourists to carry cash as the electronic transaction is cumbersome.
According to Tribhuvan International Airport Manager Prem Nath Thakur, the office has requested the tourists to bring 200 US dollars worth of foreign currency to make it easier for them to pay the visa fee.

According to the information released by the Immigration Office, the number of tourists coming to Nepal is high at present and there is only one ATM machine at the airport.

15 Days – 30 USD
