Bangladesh Business Visa

[Crossy]

Does anyone have a working link to the requirements and application process for a business visa (or for that matter any visa) to Bangladesh?

UK passport holder.

Cheers all

I haven't been there since 2007. When I went it was basically visa on arrival. It was $50 USD on arrival single entry. I think they gave me 30 days.

If you are in bangkok just go down to their embassy at the bottom of soi thonglor. Fill in a simple form and visa takes a day. But this was a couple of years ago.

Thanks, I was just trying to sort out the requirements before trekking to the embassy.

I've just had sorted my seventh business visa for India. It gets harder every year, this year (for the first time) they actually wanted an interview, OK it was a 2 minute chat with the consular officer but a pain none the less.

I imagine Bangladesh will be similar (I will need 3 months there).

India and Pakistan are the worst. It took me 5 business days to get my first business visa to India back in 2005. That embassy is a zoo.

India is now EIGHT working days, at least the applications are now handled by VFS in the Glas Haus (Asoke BTS).

I've had an Indian Business Visa every year for the last seven years, this year (last week) I had to have an embassy interview (another rule change). You also have to have flights and hotel bookings before you'll get in the door of the application centre.

I remember standing at the Indian Embassy on 23 waiting for the window to open. It seemed like I was standing in a queue. They slid the window open and it was a free for all. Everyone just ran up to the window. No order at all. I thought they were giving away 1000 THB notes or something the way everyone was acting.
