As a sovereign state, Bangladesh requires all foreigners to obtain permission to enter its territory. Visas are issued by Bangladesh missions located throughout the world or on arrival to Bangladesh. Extensions are available at the Department of Immigrations and Passport of Bangladesh and fees vary by country.[1] Most foreigners require a Bangladesh visa to enter Bangladesh.

No Visa Required seal

Bangladesh missions provide a No Visa Required (NVR) seal for Bangladeshis holding foreign passport and nationality as well as to non-Bangladeshis who are descendants/relation of Bangladeshis.[5][6][7] This seal allows the passenger to travel to Bangladesh on multiple occasions without restrictions on durations within the validity of the visa.[6] The No Visa Required facility is valid till the validity of the passport and can be transferred to the new passport of the same person as required.
