  • Online application, printed and submitted to a Bangladesh Mission

    Required

    Bangladesh hasn't introduced a true e-visa: fill in the online form at visa.gov.bd, print the completed form, then take it, along with your passport, photo, and visa fee, to the nearest Bangladesh Mission. A saved-but-unfinished application is deleted after 7 days; a submitted form expires 7 days after submission if you don't act on it. Online payment isn't supported, you pay in person. Citizens of the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt, Turkey, Brunei, or a European country can instead register at voa.specialbranch.gov.bd and apply for a Visa on Arrival online before traveling, then pay the fee (around $50 USD, though it varies by nationality) at a Sonali Bank counter after landing at a Bangladesh airport. Even for eligible nationalities, issuance is at the discretion of the immigration officer at the port of entry.

  • If you're under 18 and apply at the Bangladesh embassy in Manila: written consent from your parents

    The Embassy of Bangladesh in Manila says an applicant below 18 must submit written consent from their parents (either parent if the parents are divorced), with copies of the parents' passports or IDs and the applicant's birth certificate or municipality declaration. Other Bangladesh missions may ask for something different, so confirm with the embassy or high commission handling your application.

Why applications on this route get refused

  • Submitted online form expired

    A submitted MRV application expires and is deleted 7 days after submission if you don't act on it in time.

    How to avoid it: Submit your printed form and documents to a Bangladesh Mission promptly after completing the online form.

  • False or misleading information

    The portal explicitly warns that using a false document, lying, or withholding relevant information can lead to refusal and a multi-year ban from entering Bangladesh.

    How to avoid it: Make sure every detail on your application matches your actual travel documents.

  • Visa on Arrival refused despite eligibility

    Even for nationalities on the eligible list, issuing a Visa on Arrival is explicitly at the discretion of the immigration officer at the port of entry, it isn't guaranteed.

    How to avoid it: If your trip is important or your stay will be long, arrange a visa in advance through a Bangladesh Mission instead of relying on Visa on Arrival.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
