The US B1B2 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows citizens of Nepal to travel to the United States for business or pleasure. The visa is valid for up to 10 years, and allows multiple entries into the United States during that time period.
In order to be eligible for a US B1B2 visa, applicants must meet certain criteria, including having a valid passport, proof of financial stability, and evidence of ties to their home country. Applicants must also demonstrate that they have no criminal record and are not considered a security risk by the US government.

The application process for a US B1B2 visa begins with completing an online application form on the USA ESTA website. Once the form has been submitted, applicants will receive an email confirming their application has been received and providing further instructions on how to proceed.
Applicants will then need to submit additional documents such as their passport, proof of financial stability, and evidence of ties to their home country. They will also need to attend an interview at the US Embassy in Kathmandu where they will be asked questions about their purpose for travelling to the United States.
Visa Fees
The cost of applying for a US B1B2 visa varies depending on the type of visa being applied for and the applicant’s nationality. For citizens of Nepal, the fee is currently $160 USD.
It is important to note that this fee is non-refundable even if your application is denied.
