As of May 2026, Indian visa services are being progressively restored but remain limited. Priority is given to Medical, Student, and Business applicants. Standard Tourist visas are available in limited slots at major IVAC centers (Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Sylhet, and Khulna). Note: There is currently no e-Visa or Visa-on-Arrival for Bangladeshi passport holders; you must apply for a physical sticker visa.
There is no official total ban, but visa issuance is highly regulated. For 2026, visit visas are generally accessible if applied for through reputable travel agencies or sponsors. However, Employment Visas are subject to strict profession-based quotas and security screenings. Applicants with professional degrees or those applying for skilled roles (Category 1 & 2) generally face fewer hurdles than unskilled labor applicants.
For a Chinese L-Visa (Tourist), the embassy in Dhaka strictly recommends a minimum closing balance of BDT 3,00,000 per person. You must provide a 6-month bank statement and an original bank solvency certificate. If you have a "fresh" passport with no previous travel history, an in-person interview at the Chinese Visa Center in Banani is mandatory.
No. Bangladeshi citizens are not eligible for Visa-on-Arrival in Thailand. You must apply for a Tourist Visa (TR) through VFS Global in Dhaka or Chittagong before your trip.
