Bhutan Visa

All visitors need a visa to enter Bhutan, except for visitors from India, who require a permit. BTB can have your Visa processed for you prior to your departure. Your Visa will be endorsed on arrival.

Although visitors from Bangladesh and the Maldives can process their visas on arrival at their port of entry, and visitors from India can process their permits on arrival, it is recommended that these be applied for in advance instead in order to reduce the wait time at the port of entry.

Nationals of Bangladesh and the Maldives, as well as nationals of Switzerland and Thailand who hold diplomatic or government-official passports, are also eligible for a visa on arrival at their port of entry.

Visitors from India will need a permit to enter Bhutan and are required to hold an Indian passport or an Indian voter ID card. Indian nationals under the age of 18 may enter with a birth certificate or passport and must be accompanied by a legal guardian.

Documents Required for Visa
A digital copy of your passport.
The passport must be valid for six months from the intended date of departure from Bhutan.

Valid travel insurance for the duration of the trip.
The visa fee is US$40 per person; this fee is non-refundable.
It may take up to five working days to process a correctly input visa application. The visa allows you to remain in Bhutan only for the number days for which SDF is paid.
