Bhutanese embassies or consulates abroad do not issue tourist visa. The Druk Air Ticket cannot be purchased without first obtaining the visa. Visa application at least eight weeks in advance is advisable. The visitors are required valid passport and visa to enter Bhutan, except for Indian nationals. Travelers to Bhutan must have a visa approval prior to arriving in the Kingdom of Bhutan. Those who have not had a visa approval will not be permitted to board their Druk Air Flight.

High Mountain Himalaya will process the Bhutan visa after receiving the full tour payment and passport copy from the clients. Without full tour payment and passport copy, Tourism Council of Bhutan will not allow us to process the visa. Once we obtain the visa, we will email a copy to you which you will have to print it out and have it with you when you actually embark on a trip to Bhutan.

However, your final visa will be endorsed and stamped on your passport at the port of entry to Bhutan, either Paro if entering by air or Phuntsholing and Samdrup Jongkhar by land. Currently, no foreign embassy’s or missions abroad issue Bhutan visas. Travel to Bhutan are permitted only through Government registered tour operators.

All Bhutan-bound travelers are advised to check their passport validity which should not be less than 6 months from the date of travel. Druk Air will not be liable and will refuse check-in of those travelers whose passport does not meet the validity requirements.
