Loss of/Stolen passport in Bhutan

If your passport is lost or stolen in Bhutan, you will need to do the following:

  • One (for DOI application) or two (for passport applications) passport-sized photographs. Instant photographs are acceptable.

  • A copy of your police report.

  • Documentary proof of your Singapore Citizenship (such as your Singapore Identification Card or Driving License) to verify your identity.

  • Relevant fees for the application. The passport or DOI will be couriered to you at your expense.

Replacement of Bhutan visa

This exit visa allows the traveller a specified period of time (usually a few days) in which to leave the country legally.

  2. The same requirement applies if you are issued a DOI, which also needs to be endorsed by an exit permit.
