Visa Guide
Indian passport holders and those with a valid voter ID card are eligible for the simplified arrival permit process.
Permits for Indian nationals are typically arranged through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator ahead of arrival, then stamped at the port of entry.
| Passport Validity | Valid passport recommended; voter ID accepted as alternative for Indian nationals at land entry. |
| Photograph Specifications | Standard passport-size photograph, as specified by your tour operator. |
| Financial Requirements | Proof of confirmed tour booking with a licensed operator is typically required rather than a separate bank statement. |
| Visa Fee | Sustainable Development Fee applies per day; no separate visa fee for Indian nationals |
| Processing Time | Same day at port of entry (with pre-arranged permit) |
| Validity | Duration of the approved stay, typically matching the tour booking |
Not legally mandatory but strongly recommended given limited medical facilities in remote areas.
Bhutan does not maintain a large consular network abroad; permit arrangements are typically handled through licensed tour operators rather than an embassy visit.
