Argentina to Bhutan visa requirements
Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa for Bhutan. It is obtained as an eVisa applied for online (or by a licensed tour operator/hotel on your behalf) before travel. There is a one-time US$40 visa application fee, plus the mandatory Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of US$100 per person per night. Bhutan is not visa-free for Argentina. Every nationality except India, Bangladesh and the Maldives must hold a visa before travelling, and Argentina is not among the exempt countries. The visa is processed entirely online through Bhutan's Department of Immigration portal (immi.gov.bt), making it an eVisa/e-permit rather than a visa-on-arrival or embassy sticker visa. The application requires signing the "Pledge of Friendship", creating an account, submitting passport and photo, and paying both the non-refundable US$40 visa application fee and the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of US$100 per adult per night for the entire stay. Children 6-12 receive a 50% SDF discount and those 5 and under are exempt. The visa is single-entry, typically issued for the duration of the paid stay (validity commonly stated as up to six months from intended entry), and processing is officially within five working days. Bhutan is in South Asia and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers can apply independently online or have a licensed Bhutanese tour operator or hotel handle the application; the SDF is required regardless and cannot be waived. Be conservative: arrival without an approved visa/permit will result in denied boarding or entry.
