Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Tour Operators Only

No direct embassy applications exist for tourists. You are obligated to book a full tour package with a licensed Bhutan travel agency.

2

Sustainable Development Fee (SDF)

To control mass tourism, Bhutan charges a significant daily tax (SDF) per person. This must be wired to the tour operator along with your package expenses.

3

Visa Clearance Letter

Once payments are cleared, the operator secures an official 'Visa Clearance Letter' for you. Drukair or Bhutan Airlines will demand to see this before letting you board.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
