The decision of putting a price on the Bhutan visa was taken due to the tourists flooding the country. According to the figures mentioned by the Hindu in the year 2018, out of the 2,74,000 tourists in Bhutan, 1,80,000 were Indians. 

The latest draft was discussed by Bhutanese Foreign Minister Tandi Dorji with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in Delhi on Monday. As per the new policy, Indians will now have to pay a Sustainable Development Fee along with the visa processing fee.
