Bhutan reduces fees for BD tourists

Bhutan has reduced the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) for Bangladeshi tourists to $15 from $100.

The new visa policy went into effect on June 2, 2024, according to a notification by the Department of Tourism of Bhutan on Monday.

Under the new policy, 15,000 Bangladeshi tourists can now travel to Bhutan with the reduced fee.

The SDF was originally $200 before the Covid pandemic, then it was reduced to $100.

Bhutan introduced the SDF for visitors to make an active and meaningful contribution to the kingdom's preservation and progress.
