Why this verdict

Irish citizens are encoded from Bhutan Travel's visa guidance (pre-arrival online visa route). This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, tourism / visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, official travel, restricted-area permits, route permits, SDF incentives, airline handling and immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.

Conditional rules

Indian, Bangladeshi or Maldivian passport Conditional

Bhutan Travel separates India, Bangladesh and Maldives from the standard pre-arrival visa route. India uses a permit; Bangladesh and Maldives can use an arrival-capable visa process.
Work, residence, study, official travel, or stay beyond the approved visa Visa required

Use the appropriate Bhutanese visa, permit or extension route before the current visa or permit expires.
