šŸŒ The World’s Most Expensive Visa? Welcome to Bhutan!

-

International travel is thrilling, but the visa process can sometimes be exhausting, with paperwork, rising fees, and long waiting times. Surprisingly, the country with the highest visa cost in the world isn’t the USA or the UK—it’s the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.

Bhutan’s visa system is unique. Instead of a one-time fee, it follows a Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) model, charging $100 per person per night for visitors. This approach aligns with Bhutan’s tourism philosophy: fewer tourists, higher value, aiming to protect its culture, environment, and natural beauty.

However, there are concessions: Indian citizens pay only 1,200 INR and don’t require a visa—an identity card is enough to enter this Himalayan paradise.

This approach has made Bhutan a premium travel destination, attracting tourists who value sustainable and responsible tourism over budget travel.
