Official wording

All foreigners who intend to visit the Kingdom shall possess a valid e-Visa unless exempted by bilateral agreements.

Aevamo’s reading

Section 73 of the Act creates the obligation: 'All foreigners intending to visit the Kingdom are required to obtain Bhutanese visa prior to departure from their respective countries except the nationals of those countries exempted by the Government', and section 28 defines entry clearance as a visa for visa nationals and an entry permit for non-visa nationals. The 2023 Rules operationalise these categories; the Act is the instrument that creates the requirement.

Rule 65 states the e-Visa requirement for all foreigners intending to visit the Kingdom; the issuers on this row are not named in any of the exemptions (rules 70-74 of the 2023 Rules and the SAARC Visa Exemption Sticker class in the DOI General Information), so the e-Visa requirement applies to them. Rule 56, cited for the duration, caps a tourist stay at ninety days.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
