Bhutan Visa
Do I Need a Visa for Bhutan?
Yes. All US citizens must have a visa to travel to Bhutan, and the visa is required in order to purchase a plane ticket to this destination. However, the only way to obtain this visa is through a licensed tour operator in Bhutan. Only the local tour operator is allowed to submit the visa application directly to the proper authorities in the capital, Thimphu. As a result, Passport Health Passports and Visas is not able to assist with your visa for Bhutan. For more information on authorized tour operators in Bhutan, you can visit the website of the Tourism Council of Bhutan. In addition to a visa, a passport that will not expire for at least six months after the planned date of departure from Bhutan is required. If your passport is about to expire, we can help you get a new one before your trip.
