A fraud
This company is a fraud that preys on ignorant people like me. They sell you a “previsa” for 69 euros” where you will have to pay the proper visa fee on arrival at Nepal. Instead, you can apply directly for a visa
via oficial channels without the need to go through this scam.

!!!Scam Alert!!!
Google pushed this fraud website to me for Nepali Visa application. The pre-visa they sell is NOT recognized by Nepali Gov and you must pay again for Visa application at the airport. After going through the step by step application and making payment, there is NO receipt or withdrawal or refund. Pure fraud!
The official PDF slip can be generated for free at the Nepali Gov website. The guy who is running this is in hiding (all information you can see is Diago P.G Nepal, Customer Care Specialist, Travel-eVisa. He disappeared when I asked for the receipt and a full refund. However, my bank transaction reveals its real owner:
VISAGOV, AVENIDA DE JAIME I 95, BARCELONA, SPAIN
Additional Information: 93569047093 PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
Category: Business Services – Professional Services
Leads to visagov.com
They claim to provide “visa service” for 45 countries. All of these countries support online application with step by step instructions and you only need to pay for visa fee to complete your application. The scammers build similar (or even better) websides to lure you in, and charge you hundreds of euros (in addition to the visa fee) to make you apply on your own but through their websites. Still self-service and you feel like a idiot-victim in the end.
Deceptive trade conduct is pure fraud, regardless of whatever fine print they put on their website. Evisa for India seems to have the most scam websites, even the India Gov puts out warning statements.
The Nepali Gov also has the following warning:
“… we request all to be alert of such fake webpages that may cheat you. The only authentic visa portal for Nepali visa is (nepaliport.immigration.gov.np) and payment can only be made as instructed by the Embassy or at the Immigration point in Nepal..”
You can report them to the FTC and FBI (ICs) online fraud portal and European commission anti-frand office and Europol cybercrime

Scam!! beware
The service looks legit and takes you throuh all the steps. Except, when you arive in Nepal border: documents are not accepted. I paid twice the visa costs. One time to this site, and one more time at the border!

A total scam they have even taken 2…
A total scam they have even taken 2 payments from separate cards as I thought my first card hadn’t worked! They don’t provide any Visa at all just what they call a pre-visa which is just a form that you have to fill out yourself! And something you can do yourself on arrival in Nepal.
Avoid at all costs

This is a fraud and scam
This is a fraud and scam. I applied for a pre-visa online through the website nepalvisa.org, paying a total of $300 for visas for myself and three family members. The website claimed to provide a pre-visa, which I assumed would cover the cost of the visa upon arrival in Nepal.
However, they delayed providing the pre-visa submission ID until 15 days before our travel. Upon receiving it, I questioned why we would still need to pay the full visa fee upon arrival if we had already paid $300 to them. They responded that the $300 charge was their service fee, and we would still need to pay the full visa cost at the border. To get the on arrival pre-visa submission ID is free and cost no money. If you wanted to get the pre stamped visa (ETA) consult the nepal embassy closest to you and work with them. Do not Work with this folks, this is a scam!

I would not advice this company
I would not advice this company for your Nepal visa application. They make it look like an online application, but they will only help you with the application form. It will cost you around 65 US dollar and on arrival in Nepal, you still have to pay the full amount for your visa.
So be smart and don’t deal with this company because it will only cost you extra money without any benefits.
Below are the analyze and conclusion of us about above reviews
The first review by Hojaseca gives a 1-star rating and explicitly calls the company a “fraud.” The reviewer claims they were misled into paying 69 euros for a “previsa” that ultimately didn’t cover the actual visa fee upon arrival in Nepal. They advise others to apply directly through official channels, implying that the company’s service is unnecessary and overpriced. This strongly suggests a potential scam, where customers are charged for something they can obtain for free or at a lower cost through official means. The specific mention of the “previsa” and the required additional payment is a key indicator.
Philippa Whyte’s review stands in stark contrast, awarding a 5-star rating and praising “Puspa” for providing “100 star perfect customer service.” The review is extremely positive, bordering on hyperbolic, with phrases like “happiness peace and loving kindness.” This level of extreme praise, especially when compared to the other negative reviews, raises suspicion. It’s possible this is a genuine positive experience, but it could also be a fabricated review to artificially inflate the company’s reputation. The unusual emphasis on a specific employee’s name (“Puspa”) is another point to consider, possibly aimed at promoting that individual or a specific aspect of the service.
EmBeee’s review is a scathing 1-star assessment, labeling the website a “!!!Scam Alert!!!” They describe being directed to the site by Google for a Nepali visa application and allege that the “pre-visa” sold is not recognized by the Nepali government, requiring them to pay the visa fee again at the airport. The review claims a lack of receipt or refund and identifies the company behind the website as VISAGOV in Barcelona. This user also provides concrete evidence by referencing the Nepali government’s warning about fake webpages, directing users to the authentic visa portal and warning against payment to unofficial entities. This review is well-detailed and provides actionable information, including avenues for reporting the alleged fraud.
Vincent Frenken’s review is another 1-star condemnation, simply stating “Scam!! beware.” The reviewer recounts going through the steps on the website, only to have the documents rejected at the Nepal border, resulting in double payment of visa costs. This concise account aligns with the other negative reviews, reinforcing the claim that the “previsa” service is misleading and does not fulfill its purported purpose.
Mr. Neil Thomas gives a 1-star rating and calls the company a “total scam.” He states that the company took two payments when he thought the first one failed. The reviewer claims that the company doesn’t provide visa but a pre-visa which is just a form that can be done upon arrival in Nepal,avoid at all costs. This is consistent with the other negative reviews, highlighting the ‘pre-visa’ issue.
Bikash Rai’s review details a similar scam experience. They applied for a pre-visa for themselves and their family, paying $300, only to discover that they still needed to pay the full visa fee upon arrival. The company justified the initial $300 as a “service fee.” Rai warns others that obtaining the on-arrival pre-visa submission ID is free and advises consulting with the Nepali embassy instead.
René V’s review echoes the same sentiment as the others: a 1-star rating, and warning against using the company. They state that the company only helps with the application form, charging around $65, while the full visa amount still needs to be paid on arrival. The review concludes by advising against using the company to avoid extra costs without any benefit.
nepalvisa.org likely a scam
