Travel to the Kingdom of Bhutan is highly exquisite. Guided by its tourism policy of “High Value, Low Volume” Visas are required for travelling to Bhutan, and applications are processed through Bhutan WING TRIP TOURS and TREKS in conjunction with tour booking. No foreign mission abroad grants Bhutan tourist visas.

IMPORTANT: (Please use the same passport while travelling to Bhutan on which the visa was issued.)

Visa:  

With the exception of visitors from India, Bangladesh and Maldives, all other visitors to Bhutan need a visa.

Indian, Bangladeshis and Maldivian nationals can obtain a visa at the port of entry on producing a valid passport with a minimum of 6-months validity (Indian nationals may also use their Voters Identity Card (VIC)). 

All other tourists must obtain a visa clearance prior to travel to Bhutan. Visas are processed through an online system by your licensed Bhutanese tour operator.  The visa will be processed by WING TRIP TOURS and TREK once the full payment of your holiday (including a USD $40 visa fee) has been wire transferred and received in the Tourism Council of Bhutan bank account. Once received the visa clearance will be processed within 72 working hours. 

Visa applications are cleared in advance and a visa clearance document will be forwarded to you. The actual visas are stamped on the passports on arrival at the port of entry.

For travellers entering Bhutan by Air, the visa clearance document is required for check-in and boarding the flight to Bhutan. Travellers without a visa clearance document will not be permitted to board their flight.

For travellers entering the country by land from India, through the southern border towns of Phuentsholing/Samdrup Jongkhar, the actual visa is stamped on the passports on arrival. Travellers without a visa clearance document will not be permitted to enter the country.

Please make sure you have the necessary visas & documents required for other countries that you may transit through or visit before/after Bhutan.
