Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Book with a Licensed Tour Operator

Select an officially recognized Bhutanese tour operator. You must book a comprehensive tour package that includes accommodation, meals, transport, and a guide.

2

Pay the Tour Cost and SDF

Wire the full payment for your tour, including the mandatory daily Sustainable Development Fee (SDF), directly to the Tourism Council of Bhutan's bank account.

3

Receive Your Visa Clearance

Once the payment is received, your tour operator will apply for your visa. The Tourism Council will issue a visa clearance letter, which you must present to board your flight and upon arrival in Bhutan, where the actual visa is stamped.

Required Documents

  • β€”Syrian passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry
  • β€”High-quality color scan of the passport bio-data page
  • β€”Recent digital passport-sized photograph
  • β€”Confirmed booking with a licensed Bhutanese tour operator
  • β€”Full payment receipt (including SDF) wired to the Tourism Council of Bhutan

Important Tips

  • β€’The daily Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) is mandatory and non-negotiable for all tourists.
  • β€’Visas are typically processed within 5 working days once full payment is cleared.
  • β€’You can only fly into Bhutan via the national carriers (Drukair or Bhutan Airlines).
  • β€’Keep the physical copy of your visa clearance letter safe, as airlines will deny boarding without it.

Easiest Way to Get It

Since independent travel is not permitted, choosing a highly-rated, licensed Bhutanese tour operator is the only and easiest method to secure your visa.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
