However, you must initiate the request at least 3 to 5 working days before your current visa or permit expires to avoid overstay penalties and ensure your record is updated before you attempt to exit the country.
The process depends on how you originally applied:
Via Tour Operator: If you are traveling with an agency, simply inform them of your new dates. They will handle the extension through the Department of Immigration and settle the additional fees on your behalf.
Online (Self-Applied): If you applied for your own e-Visa or e-Permit, you can log back into the Bhutan Immigration Services Portal using your original credentials to submit an extension request
