Covid 19 Protocols

Bhutan’s current COVID-19 protocols are relatively relaxed, with some measures in place for surveillance and safety. Here’s what you need to know:
  • No Quarantine Requirements: Inbound travelers don’t need to undergo quarantine.
  • No Vaccine Requirements: COVID-19 vaccination is not mandatory for adults or children to enter Bhutan.
  • Random RT-PCR Testing: Individuals 12 years and older may be subject to random RT-PCR testing at entry points for COVID-19 surveillance.
  • Travel Insurance: Travelers need to have insurance covering medical expenses, including emergency medical evacuation and hospital costs.
  • No COVID-19 Norms for Departure: Unless the destination country requires it, there are no COVID-19 protocols to follow when leaving Bhutan.
The Royal Government of Bhutan prioritizes public health safety, and while protocols may change, the country has been successful in keeping COVID-19 cases relatively low. To stay updated on the latest protocols, consider checking the Ministry of Health’s website or contacting the Royal Bhutanese Embassy or Consulate office.
