All travelers to Bhutan, with the exception of those from India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives, require a visa.
A valid passport with a minimum remaining validity of six months is required for Indian, Bangladeshi, and Maldivian nationals to get visas at the port of entry. Indian nationals may alternatively use their Voters Identity Card (VIC). Prior to visiting Bhutan, all other visitors are required to acquire a visa clearance. Your authorized Bhutanese tour operator can apply for visas directly or through a foreign travel agency using an internet system. Your tour operator will apply for your visa after receiving the photo page of your passport. Once the complete money has been received, the Department of Tourism will process the visa. The processing of the visa clearance after receipt will take 72 working hours. Your visa clearance letter must be presented at the point of entry, where it will be stamped into your passport.
