When planning your visit to Bhutan, consider the following costs:

• Visa Processing Fee: A one-off fee of US$40 per person for the visa application.
• Sustainable Development Fee (SDF): This daily fee is part of the visa process and supports the country’s development.
  • US$100 per day for adults
  • 50% discount for children aged 6-12
  • Exempt for children under 6
  Example: For a couple with a six-year-old visiting Bhutan for 4 nights:
  • (2 adults * US$100 * 4) + (1 child * US$50 * 4) = US$1200
  Note: The SDF does not cover your travel expenses, including accommodation, transport, or meals.
