>How to Apply

Step-1: Completion of the application form

• Download the “Visa Application Form” and fill it up carefully.

• Mind that there are several sections in the form. First three sections are common for all applicants and these three sections should be filled up by each applicant irrespective of the type of visa they are applying for. The other sections are for some specific types of visa mentioned there. Only the applicants of these specific types of visa will find the appropriate section and fill it up in addition to the first three sections.
• Put your SIGNATURE and DATE on the space marked for that in the form.
• You can also fill up the form online (please visit visa.gob.bd) and then get a print.
• Attach photocopies of Passport, Civil ID and all other required documents as stated in “Requirements” except the payment receipt, one copy for each, with the application form. Payment receipt will be attached after the payment is made.

Step-2: Payment

• The applicant will take a token and go to the Visa Payment counter with completed application form and make payment there. The application will undergo a primary check there whether it is complete or not. If found complete, the application will be received with the original passport and the applicant will be awarded with a receipt of his/her payment with a date mentioned for delivery of his/her passport. We remind the applicant that this payment receipt and submission of the application DOES NOT give confirmation of ISSUANCE of visa, rather issuance of visa depends on the security clearance from Bangladesh and many other issues. In case of NON-ISSUANCE of visa, the applicant will receive his/her passport without visa on the date of delivery. It is noticeable that the Visa Fee, once paid, is NON-REFUNDABLE.

Step-4: Done!!

• You are done. You are now free to move. Please come or send any authorized person on the date and at the time mentioned in the payment receipt for your delivery. Please DO NOT come before the date and time.

>Delivery

• Delivery time is from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm every business day. It usually takes no more than 2 weeks from the date of submission. By the way, there are exceptions. The applicant should follow the date and time mentioned in his payment receipt.
• The applicant will come or send any authorized person on the date and at the time mentioned in the payment receipt for your delivery. The original payment receipt needs to be produced before the Visa Delivery Counter. Please DO NOT come before the date and time. However, you can come any day after the mentioned date but within the following week and always after 2.00 pm.
