南非(South Africa) 前往 不丹(Bhutan) 签证要求

South African passport holders need a visa for Bhutan. It is applied for online in advance (an e-visa) through the official Department of Immigration portal, and every tourist must also pay the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of USD 100 per night. A South Africa (ZA) ordinary passport holder cannot enter Bhutan visa-free or get a visa on arrival. Only India, Bangladesh and the Maldives have special arrangements (visa-free/visa-on-arrival). All other nationals, including South Africans, must obtain a visa in advance. Bhutan operates a single online e-visa system run by the Department of Immigration (visit.doi.gov.bt). You can apply yourself or have a licensed tour operator/hotel apply on your behalf. The application requires a passport copy, a recent passport photo and confirmed travel dates. Two charges apply: a one-off non-refundable visa application fee of USD 40 and the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of USD 100 per person per night, which is the headline cost of visiting Bhutan. The reduced SDF rate of USD 100/night is in effect through 31 August 2027. The visa is typically processed within about 5 working days, and the resulting tourist visa is generally valid for stays of up to 90 days. Children under 6 are exempt from the SDF and those aged 6–11 pay a 50% concessionary rate. Bhutan is in South Asia and is not part of the Schengen area, so no Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS applies.
