All visitors to Bhutan must obtain a Bhutan visa, with the exception of the travelers from India, Maldives, and Bangladesh. Bhutanese visas will be processed through Bhutan Greenland Expeditions.

Bhutan tourist visas are issued after booking a trip through a local or international agent. No foreign embassies or organisations issue Bhutanese tourist visas. A copy of a valid passport and a visa form must be submitted to Bhutan Greenland Expeditions a month prior to the trip to Bhutan.

A visa approval letter, issued by the Bhutanese government, will be sent to all travelers via email or fax. Travelers must present the visa approval letter when boarding Druk Air. The visa approval letter will be stamped by customs upon arrival into Bhutan.

For travelers entering Bhutan by land, two passport size photographs must be submitted to customs at the border.

A visa fee of US $ 25 is required of all tourists and the visa will be processed by Bhutan Greenland Expeditions.
