Why Bhutan visas get refused — and how we prevent it
Most refusals come down to avoidable mistakes. Explera pre-screens every application against each of these before we file:
Incomplete, inconsistent or poorly-scanned documents
Insufficient or unexplained bank balance and unclear funding
Passport valid for less than 6 months or without blank pages
Mismatched traveller details between passport, photo and application
Unconfirmed or unrealistic itinerary, tickets or hotel bookings
