Bhutan Passport & Visa Requirements

Bhutan Visa Requirements

British Citizens need a visa to visit Bhutan. Applications should be made in advance through the Bhutanese Department of Immigration website, a hotel or tour operator (that’s where we come in), and the visa will be issued to you upon your arrival. There is a one-off visa application fee of 40 US dollars.

Ensure your visa is stamped on arrival in Bhutan, as you may encounter issues when you leave if it isn’t. 

Passport Validity for Bhutan Travel

Passports must be valid for at least six months after the date you intend to leave Bhutan.
