Visas for Bhutan from Bangladesh
In short
Bangladeshi visitors apply for the Bhutan visa online, paying a one-off US$40 visa fee together with the Sustainable Development Fee for every day in the country. The first 15,000 guests from Bangladesh pay a reduced US$15 a day against the standard US$100, and the visa is usually processed within 5 working days.
Bhutan wants each visitor's visa approved and paid for before travel, either directly or through a tour operator or hotel in Bhutan. The Sustainable Development Fee is what makes a Bhutan trip cost more per day than its neighbours, and it is charged for every day you stay.
Bangladesh is one of the few countries with a reduced rate, and only a set number of guests get it. For border day trips, the arrival section lists the towns where the fee is waived for a limited period.
