Important Information
If this service has any special requirements, processes or rules they will be listed here. If applicable to this service, please read this section carefully to ensure you fully understand the entirety of the process.

A Business visa may be issued for maximum 1 year with single, double or multiple entries. Please note that duration of stay for

each visit should be maximum 60 days. 


If you require an extension of the visa, the visa could be extended by the Department of Immigration and Passport (DIP) in Bangladesh for up to 3 years with a maximum of 6 months duration of stay in each visit.


Processing time in the embassy is a minimum of 7 business days but can take longer. We advise that you do not confirm any

flight booking to Bangladesh until your visa has been confirmed. Once the embassy has begun the process, the passport will be unavailable until the process is complete, so please ensure you do not have any upcoming travel plans when applying.


Please note that the validity of the visa begins from the date of issue and not from the date of travel on your application form.


This embassy will only process applications for UK nationals or residents.


This Embassy operates an appointment system to submit visa applications. The processing time displayed is approximate and

cannot be guaranteed. Upon receipt of a complete application pack, we will always book the next available appointment to

attend on the applicant's behalf. If there are any delays to the appointment system, we will notify you accordingly via email.
