For purchase of Drukair tickets, a visa is NOT required. However, it is a requirement for travel into Bhutan. You may be denied check-in at the airport if you do not have a prior e-visa clearance from the Department of Immigration, except for Indian, Bangladeshi, Maldivian nationals, or holders of diplomatic or official passport of Thai or Swiss nationals.
To help you prepare for your trip, we have outlined below the travel requirements for a foreigner entering Bhutan.
