  • Collect the passport with the visa sticker once approved, or opt for courier return where available

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist visa fee: approx. USD 30-50 equivalent, varies by duration and entry type

  • Standard processing time: 7-15 business days
  • Processing can extend for additional security clearance, which is common for Pakistani applicants

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Apply at least 3-4 weeks in advance due to potential extra security vetting
  • Common rejection reasons: incomplete documentation, unclear purpose of visit, lack of local host verification
  • A clear invitation letter from a Bangladeshi resident or company speeds up processing
  • Keep copies of all submitted documents for reference during the interview, if required
  • Extensions inside Bangladesh are handled by the Department of Immigration and Passports (DIP) in Dhaka
