Extend your visa in Bangladesh for longer courses
A Student Visa is given for up to one year with multiple entries, counted from the day it is issued, not the day you travel. To stay for the rest of your course, you apply for an extension with the Department of Immigration and Passports (DIP) in Bangladesh.

Why applications on this route get refused
Passport not valid long enough or too few blank pages
The mission asks for a passport valid for at least six months with at least two blank pages. A passport that doesn't meet this does not fit the listed requirements.
How to avoid it: Check your passport's expiry date and blank pages, and renew it first if needed.
Missing letters from the school in Bangladesh
Both an invitation or offer letter and a declaration or recommendation letter from the institution are on the list. Sending only one leaves the file incomplete.
How to avoid it: Ask your institution for both letters before you apply.
Unsigned form or signature outside the box
The mission asks for a printed, signed form, with the signature inside the marked area.
How to avoid it: Sign inside the signature box on the printed form before you go to the mission.
Mistakes on the visa sticker not caught
The mission asks you to check the visa sticker for spelling mistakes and the validity dates once it is in your passport.
How to avoid it: Check every detail on the sticker as soon as you get your passport back, and report errors to the mission right away.
