Bhutan Passeport

The Bhutan passport currently offers a visa-free or visa-on-arrival count of 48 destinations, reflecting the travel mobility available to Bhutanese citizens within Asia and beyond. According to the 2026 passport ranking data, the Bhutanese travel document holds a global rank of 83. While the passport does not grant visa-free access to the Schengen Area, holders can enter several countries without a prior visa, including Bangladesh, India, Thailand, and Singapore. The openness score for the nation is recorded at 15, with a global score of 8, indicating its specific standing in international travel access. Historical data shows that the Bhutan passport ranking has fluctuated over the years, starting at a rank of 77 in 2006 with 19 visa-free destinations and reaching a visa-free count of 55 in 2024. For destinations where visa-free entry is not permitted, Bhutanese travelers can utilize visa-on-arrival services in countries such as Cambodia, Maldives, and Nepal, or apply for an eTA for entry into Sri Lanka, Kenya, and Seychelles. For many other global regions, including the United States and most of Europe, a formal visa remains a requirement for entry.
