How To Apply For A Bhutan Tourist Visa?
To apply for a Bhutan visa, you must follow a specific process, as direct applications by individuals are not accepted. Here's a step-by-step guide based on accurate and current information:
Choose a Registered Tour Operator: The first step is to book your trip to Bhutan through a registered tour operator. Bhutan requires all tourists (except nationals from India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives) to arrange their visit through a Bhutanese tour operator or one of their international partners. The Bhutan Tourism Council maintains a list of registered tour operators on their website.
Submit Your Details to the Tour Operator: Provide your tour operator with your passport details and other necessary information. The tour operator will then apply for a visa on your behalf. This process includes submitting a visa application to the Tourism Council of Bhutan, a copy of your passport, and a recent passport-size photo.
Payment of SDF, Tour Cost, and Visa Fee: Before your visa can be processed, you must pay for your tour and the visa fee. You also need to calculate your Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) based on the duration of your stay and make the payment online as per the current incentives.
Visa Approval and Issuance: Once your application is processed and approved, the Tourism Council of Bhutan issues a visa clearance letter to your tour operator. Upon arrival in Bhutan, you must present this visa clearance letter, where the actual visa will be stamped into your passport.
Requirements at Arrival: Ensure your passport has at least six months of validity from your intended departure date from Bhutan and at least one blank page for the visa stamp. Upon arrival, you must show your visa clearance letter to the immigration officials to receive your visa stamp.
Travel Insurance: It is advisable, though not mandatory, to have valid travel insurance for your visit.
