Can Indians buy land in Bhutan?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
No, Indians (and all foreigners) generally cannot buy land in Bhutan. Bhutanese law restricts land ownership to Bhutanese citizens to preserve sovereignty, culture, and prevent demographic changes. This applies even though India and Bhutan share special relations. However, exceptions exist: Indian government projects for development assistance, joint ventures with specific approvals, and long-term leases for businesses may be granted. Indians can own businesses and work in Bhutan but cannot purchase residential or agricultural land. This policy protects Bhutan's small population (under 800,000) from being overwhelmed. Indians can visit, work, and invest in businesses, but land ownership remains restricted.
