United Arab Emirates visa for Bhutanese citizens

UAE passport holders can easily secure an e-visa for travel to Bhutan, available for both tourist and business purposes, granting a generous maximum stay of 90 days. Unlike most other international destinations, entry into Bhutan is uniquely governed by a 'High Value, Low Impact' tourism policy, which includes a daily Sustainable Development Fee that significantly impacts overall travel costs. While two distinct visa types simplify the application process, flights from the UAE typically require at least one stopover, often in Kathmandu or Bangkok, before landing at Bhutan's secluded Paro International Airport. Thoughtful planning, especially regarding this daily fee and the specific flight routes, will ensure a smooth and memorable experience in the Land of the Thunder Dragon.
