All visitors traveling to Bhutan have required a Visa, except for visitors from India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives. The Bhutanese visa is processed through an online system by a licensed Bhutanese Tour Operator directly or through a foreign Travel Agent or travelers can apply for a Bhutan visa online too. A photo page of the passport is required to be sent to the tour operator, who will then apply for the visa. The Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB) will then process the visa once the full payment of the Bhutan Holiday (including a USD 40 visa fee) has been wire transferred and received in the TBC Bank Account. The visa clearance will be processed within 72 working hours once the payment is received. The visa clearance letter is required at the entry point to Bhutan, and then the visa will be stamped onto the passport.

According to the Chinese Immigration Rule, an application for both a China Group Tourist Visa and a Tibet Visa (also called the Tibet Travel Permit) is required for travelers who enter from Nepal. The Travel Agency takes care of the procedure; you will then be required to sign the tour contract by paying a certain deposit amount and submitting an image of your passport. The travel consultant will then gather your information and submit it for your Tibet Permit Application to the Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB). It takes about 8 to 9 business days for the issue of your Tibet Travel Permit and for the Visa Invitation to be sent to the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu. It is also important to note that Chinese embassies will not issue a visa if your passport has less than six months of validity remaining.

Travel Insurance for Nepal Tibet Bhutan tour

Travel Insurance is highly recommended while traveling to Tibet and Bhutan. It is highly recommended to have a travel insurance policy that covers theft, loss, and medical problems. It is also important to get travel insurance that will cover the cost if you are forced to cancel your tour because of various reasons, like flight cancellations, illness, injury, or death of close ones. This can help you to be protected against major losses due to Bhutan’s prepayment conditions and hefty cancellation charges. Similarly, it is useful to have trip-and-flight-cancellation insurance for Tibet for possible cases where the travel agency can’t get permits in time or when permits get lost or delayed in the post. If this happens, then you will not be allowed to board your flight to/from Tibet.

Banking, ATM, and Money in Tibet Nepal, and Bhutan

ATMs are located in all major cities across Bhutan, where the Visa or MasterCard can be used to withdraw money. The currency of Bhutan is called the Bhutanese ngultrum (Nu).

Extra charges can come in the form of other miscellaneous activities or expenses, like hot-stone baths, cultural shows, horse riding, rafting, mountain bikes, and tips. Similarly, the Renminbi (RMB) is the legal currency of Tibet. Only the Bank of China offers foreign exchange services and facilities in Tibet. Certain up-market hotels (Lhasa Hotel, the former Holiday Inn, and Tibet Hotel among others) also exchange currencies. The Bank of China, with the main office and several sub-branches in Lhasa, cashes all travelers’ checks. On the other hand, only the main office offers cash advances on major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, Diners Club, and Amex).
