As part of the visa process, you will need to pay:

• Sustainable Development Fee (SDF): US$100 per day per adult (concessionary rates apply for children).
• Visa Application Fee: A one-time, non-refundable fee of US$40.
• Visitors who intend to travel to or through India before or after Bhutan are advised to apply for a multiple entry visa.
• Each visitor should carry photocopies of the bio-data page of the traveller’s passport  and a print of the visa letter that is sent in order to facilitate obtaining an entry into the country. The actual visa will be stamped onto the passport on arrival in Bhutan.

WHAT TO PACK

Casual, comfortable, wash and wear clothing is most useful. Please dress modestly and respectfully

especially if you are planning a visit to the monasteries, Dzongs and other religious institutions. Long pants and long-sleeved tops should be worn when visiting such places. As a mark of respect, be kind enough to remove your hats, caps etc. as you enter religious and administrative premises, institutions and in any other place that you come across with the national flag being raised. Most hotels offer quick laundry turnaround, usually within a few hours. It is certainly not necessary to bring a separate change of clothing for each day and evening, and it is recommended that you keep luggage to a minimum for your own comfort and ease of transport, especially if you are using light aircraft transfers.
