THIS country has the most expensive visa in the world, charges Rs 8700 per night, Indians can travel in just…

International trips are always fun to plan and execute. However, what’s not exciting is the excessive stress the visa processes bring along for such international trips. The extensive documentation, interviews, forms, and consultation can sometimes dilute the fun, but for travel enthusiasts, nothing can match the thrill of visiting new exotic places in the world. One such place is a Himalayan country, which offers the most expensive visa. Surprisingly, it’s not the United States or the United Kingdom.

Which country has the most expensive visa in the world?

The most expensive visa belongs to the Himalayan country, Bhutan. It’s because the fee structure of its visa is not designed in an ordinary manner like other countries. While most nations charge a one-time fee, Bhutan’s visa mode operates on a Sustainable Development Fee (SDF). This fee model includes a per-night charge per person, which is $100, i.e., around Rs. 8,700.

Bhutan’s tourism philosophy of ‘High Value, Low Volume’ aims to secure its rich culture and environment by regulating the tourist count in the country.

What’s the fee for Indians?

The Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) for Indians is quite less in comparison to the usual cost. As per the VisitBhutan website, the fee for Indians is Rs.1,200 per night per person. In addition, Indian nationals do not need a visa to visit Bhutan; all they require is valid proof of identity, like a passport or a voter ID.

How to travel from India to Bhutan?

Travelling to Bhutan from India is possible through multiple modes. One such includes taking a direct flight from Indian cities like Delhi, Kolkata, and Guwahati to Paro in Bhutan. In addition, the mode of train is also suitable to the nearby stations of India, from where another transportation mode like bus or cab can be taken. It’s because Bhutan doesn’t have a rail network.
