Permit for Indian Travellers

Indian travellers will need a permit to visit Bhutan. This applies to anyone holding an Indian passport, or an Indian voter ID card. Visitors from India can obtain Permit through us in advance or even process on arrival at the port of entry however it is recommended that Permit obtained in advance to reduce wait time and for faster clearance at the port of entry. Further, on weekends and holidays, Immigration offices remain closed at border towns and if arrival is by surface on these days, then permit can’t be issued at the time of arrival hence highly recommended to obtain travel permit in advance.
