You'll need to fill up a form, submit it along with your documents, wait a while till called, queue up to have your photo taken and permit issued. It took around an hour for us. The permit is a piece of stamped paper, so make a copy for safe keeping.<br /><br />Do post your experience for us to read! And have a great trip!Tanmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05342457728508357508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701809777463229951.post-54199772901024833032012-02-28T10:54:43.270+05:302012-02-28T10:54:43.270+05:30Hi Tanmay..your post is of real help for those pla...Hi Tanmay..your post is of real help for those planning to visit Bhutan. I am going in Mid April.<br />Could you tell me if the Embassy Office from where I need to get the entry permit is open on Fridays? I will reach there on a Friday and I was wondering if I could get my permit by Saturday and leave for Thimphu. Any specific timings to submit and get the permission?ANIRBAN CHATTERJIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766435635996608499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701809777463229951.post-85690887363377438542011-11-01T01:08:35.829+05:302011-11-01T01:08:35.829+05:30@Aline @Ramakant Thanks.
