  • One is required to send a copy of the photo-page of their passport to the tour operator who will then apply for the visa. The visa will be processed by the Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB) after the full payment of the holiday (including a USD $40 visa fee) has been received in the TCB bank account. Then the visa clearance will be processed within 72 working hours.
  • When entering the country, you are required to show the visa clearance letter after which the visa will be stamped on the passport.
