Core requirement

Indian citizens generally need a visa for Bangladesh.

The Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi states that Indian citizens require a visa to enter Bangladesh unless a specific exemption applies. The right category depends on why you are travelling: tourism, trade or commerce, a private visit, transit, study, employment or another recognised purpose.

How the official online application works

The Bangladesh Online MRV Portal describes three basic stages: complete and submit the online visa application form, print the completed form, and take the printed form with required supporting documents to the relevant visa office or Bangladesh mission.

Useful official detail: The portal suggests having your passport, an address in Bangladesh, an email address and a 45mm × 35mm digital photograph available while preparing the online application.

Common documents for Indian applicants

The exact checklist changes by visa category and mission. The New Delhi tourist checklist includes the online form, recent white-background photographs, original passport, old passport if any, profession-related proof and NOC where applicable, invitation/host or hotel evidence, bank statements in the relevant scenario, Aadhaar copy and passport copies.

Business applicants normally need a genuine commercial purpose supported by Bangladesh-side invitation or sponsor information and documentation from the Indian company sending the traveller.
