Vista formalities in Bhutan

Bhutan Visa formalities are another means of ensuring that Bhutan, rather than customer demand, dictates the number of arrivals. Visas are not available upon arrival at any of the borders or the airport. Visas must be processed in advance of arrival, and clearance given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before tickets are issued to enter the country. All visa applications for tourists are processed through TAB, as are all visa extensions. This means that TAB is at all times aware of the number of tourists in Bhutan and ensures that the government royalty is always collected.
