Common rejection reasons
Common NP rejections (LOW at Palau): (1) Manila/Guam transit visa is the real barrier (Philippines visa-free for Nepalese 30 days, but Guam needs US visa); (2) Insufficient funds + USD 100 eco fee on arrival; (3) Diving certification questions; (4) Limited Nepal-Palau direct flow; (5) Strong tourism justification needed (luxury destination).
