A visa is required for traveling to Bhutan. All foreign nationals intending to visit Bhutan with us should apply to Nature Trails with a completed visa form at least two weeks before the expected date of arrival. Once we have your detailed information, (you can send to us by fax or e-mail), we will process your details and obtain the visa authorization letter for you from the Bhutanese Tourism Authority. They provide you with an authorization number and a letter which needs to be produced at Paro airport for your visa stamp or alternatively you can arrange your own documents at any Royal Bhutanese embassy/consulate abroad. In general, a visa will be issued at the Paro airport upon arrival with the presentation of the authorization letter. A payment of US$20.00 at the airport immigration counter is also required. Without the authorization, the airline, Druk Air, will not issue air tickets.
*Your actual visa is stamped only on arrival in Bhutan with the approval of a Visa clearance, which will be sent to you in advance.
* A visa clearance number is also required when issuing Druk Air tickets.
* Two copies of original passport size photographs are required on arrival.
* Classic Asia Travels and Tours has been an authorized Travel Agent for Bhutan for the past nine years.
