Ministry of Foreign Affairs and External Trade RGOB
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs would like to notify all Bhutanese who have made plans to travel to Western Australia that the reopening of Western Australia’s border to the rest of the country and the world scheduled on 5th February 2022 will be delayed indefinitely due to the increasing health risks posed by the Omicron variant.
This has left many Bhutanese, who have entered Australia after 15th December 2021 with the intention to travel to Western Australia on or after 5th February 2022, stranded in other States and Territories waiting for the border to re-open. Therefore, all travellers to Western Australia are advised to reconsider travel plans and make an informed decision before proceeding with their plans. Travellers are also advised to regularly check for updated information related to travel and the changing COVID situation in Western Australia at https://www.wa.gov.au/
