Mandatory Travel Insurance No Longer Required To Visit Bhutan

In a move to further enhance the travel experience for tourists, Bhutan has officially revoked its mandatory travel insurance policy, effective immediately. Previously, visitors had to obtain travel insurance covering various contingencies, including medical emergencies and accidents, per Bhutan's Tourism Rules and Regulations of 2022. However, this requirement has been lifted in a recent announcement by the Department of Tourism Bhutan, dated April 23, 2024.
