How much is the IELTS exam fee in Bhutan?

Bhutan bookings go through IDP India, whose transfer and cancellation policy says: for IELTS on computer and One Skill Retake, a transfer is free 15 or more days before the Listening, Reading and Writing date, costs up to 25% of the fee within 5 to 14 days, and is not allowed within 4 days. Cancel 15 or more days ahead and up to 25% is kept as an administration fee; within 14 days nothing is refunded.

IELTS for UKVI has its own scale: 75% back more than 14 days before the test, 50% within 14 days but more than 2 days, 25% within 2 days, and nothing on or after test day. A UKVI transfer is allowed once, more than 14 days ahead, to a date within three months, for up to 25% of the fee. Read our IELTS cancel, reschedule and refund guide.

You book Thimphu through IDP India's registration system and pay in Indian rupees. Bring the passport you booked with on test day. Only Thimphu has an IELTS venue, so test takers from Paro, Punakha or the south travel to the capital.

Many Bhutanese test takers are heading to Australia. The Australian Department of Home Affairs accepts both IELTS (including One Skill Retake) and PTE Academic taken at a test centre, so either works for a visa; PTE costs USD 237 in Bhutan and is offered in Thimphu and Paro.
