Visa
Nationals of most countries require a valid visa to enter Bangladesh. The Consulate General of Bangladesh in Dubai determines the type and category of visa and duration of stay upon receiving an application. The types and categories vary according to the purpose of visit, length of stay and bilateral arrangements with the country of the foreign national.
The UAE nationals are eligible to obtain Visa on Arrival at the airport to enter Bangladesh.
Please read carefully before submitting your visa application:
Applicants living only in Dubai & Northern Emirates (Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Um AL Quwain, Fujairah) are eligible to apply for a visa to the Consulate General of Bangladesh in Dubai. Applicants from Abu Dhabi are advised to submit visa applications to the Embassy of Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi.
Since E-visa has not yet been introduced, Machine-readable visa requires the applicant to submit the original passport along with the visa application.
Applicants may submit their visa applications on their own. In case the applicant is unable to submit his/her application in person, an authorized nominee or travel agent or visa agent can submit the visa application on the applicant’s behalf with a letter of authorization.
Visa application must be initiated through www.visa.gov.bd. It is also important to provide accurate information when filling out the online form. Incorrect or wrong information may lead to outright rejection of application. An incomplete application form or application with incorrect information or insufficient supporting papers may be summarily rejected.
The Consulate General reserves the right to withhold any application for closer scrutiny. Applicants may be called for an interview if it is felt necessary by the competent authority.
When applying for a visa, the validity of Passport should be at least 6 months. The passport must have at least two blank pages and should not be mutilated/ damaged/ tampered in any manner.
Additional documents or information may be required depending on your circumstance. The list of supporting documentation provided in the required document section is not exhaustive. You may also need to provide additional document in support of your visa application. Please provide certified true copies of all documents. Documents that are not certified will not be accepted. You should also provide a certified English translation of any document other than English.
Acceptance of visa application does not automatically guarantee the issuance of a visa. The Consulate General reserves the right to approve or reject any application for a visa.
The application must be submitted at least 05 (five) working days prior to the intended travel date. If you submit your visa application in the eleventh hour, you may be disappointed if your visa is not approved in time for your planned travel date. Therefore, you are requested to submit your visa application well in advance of your intended travel date.
Your itinerary/air ticket does not help expediting your visa application. You should not book non-changeable or non-refundable travel arrangements until you get confirmation that your visa application has been granted. The Consulate General is not responsible for any financial damage sustained by visa applicants whose applications were processed later than anticipated or were rejected.
Issuance of a visa may be delayed if clearance is required from the government of Bangladesh.
The Consulate General issues new visa only. There is no visa extension service provided from the Consulate. If the applicant needs an extension of visa, it could be extended from the Department of Immigration and Passport (DIP), Dhaka with a letter from the local sponsor and a police clearance certificate.
If any of the listed visa does not suit your purpose, please send your queries to mission.dubai@mofa.gov.bd / pv.dubai@mofa.gov.bd. We will guide you to choose the right category of visa for your purpose.
