Question: Does Bhutan allow immigration?
I have recently researched becoming and expat and possibly a citizen of Bhutan. I am unable to access the Bhutan Ministry of Home and Cultural Affairs via their website at http://www.mohca.gov.bt and the main website does not offer feedback that works. Has anyone become an expatriate in Bhutan or know of anyone who has become a citizen of Bhutan? Is there a website or book you can recommend that is reputable (government or at least reliable) that can give me more information on Bhutan and immigration specifically? Thank you.
Answer: No. Don't think so. Bhutan has a tight visa policy, it costs a fortune. they don't want foreigners.

Answer: Dear Melisa,
So far as we know, China is not an immigrant country. No law or regulations are set permitting immigration. A foreigner is only allowed to reside here for reasons of work, study, travel, or marriage over a certain period of time.

In addition to being a brain surgeon, he also runs his own research lab, studying stem cells and their role in brain cancers. He hopes to one day replace the invasive surgical tools of conventional brain surgery with noninvasive stem cell therapies that could destroy tumors and repair damaged tissue. His work has garnered many prestigious grants, including the Howard Hughes Award.

Initially he worked as a field hand, but soon enrolled in community college to learn English, where he excelled in math and science courses, as well as joining the debate team. He eventually earned a degree in psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, on a scholarship, and was admitted to Harvard Medical School, earning his MD in 1999. Quinones is also a strong believer in education and outreach, and uses his prominent position to reach out to the Hispanic community, determined to show young people how much one can achieve.
