Where to apply: Croatia has no mission in Bhutan

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
India 1,395 km
Applications accepted in: New Delhi
2
China 1,596 km
Applications accepted in: Beijing
3
Kazakhstan 3,053 km
Applications accepted in: Astana

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.
