Visas, Health & Insurance...documentation
All visitors require a passport
valid for at least 6 months longer than their journey and an entry visa for Bhutan
which must be pre-approved prior to your arrival.
Visa costs are built in to
your travel package. A visa authority letter is issued after prepayment for your
travel arrangements and the actual visa is entered into your passport on arrival
at Paro Airport or at the Phuentsholing land border point.
When entering Bhutan through the land border
of Phuentsholing two passport sized photos are required. Whilst it is not
generally requested by authorities on arrival at Paro Airport. It is still
recommended that you carry two passport sized photos with you.
Whilst Bhutan is a relatively
safe country to visit, and there are currently no mandatory health requirements,
public health facilities are extremely basic in some regions and we strongly
recommend you seek professional advice prior to arrival.
Your nearest Travel
Doctor in Australia can be contacted by telephoning: 1300 421 142.
Ideally you should seek such
advice at least 8 weeks prior to your departure. We also encourage all
travellers to ensure that their hepatitis and tetanus vaccinations are kept up to
date at all times. Please note there is a rabies risk in Bhutan.
It is mandatory for all
visitors to Bhutan to hold a valid comprehensive travel insurance policy.
