Bangladesh

Indian ordinary-passport holders need a visa. This is not a download-only e-Visa. Fill the form on https://visa.gov.bd, print it, and submit the passport and papers at the Bangladesh mission that covers the traveller’s state.

The official fee table lists India as USD 0 for single, double and multiple. New Delhi says tourist visas are issued as single or double only — multiple is for business. Leisure only — no work.

Confirm the mission is accepting tourist visas before the traveller books (services have been paused and resumed in the past).

• Completed online form from https://visa.gov.bd (print and sign)
• Original passport valid at least 6 months, plus copy of the photo page
• Two recent 45×35 mm colour photos, white background, not older than 6 months
• Proof of residence in India (Aadhaar, voter ID, driving licence, PAN)

• Professionals: proof of profession and NOC from the employer

For trade, commerce or investment. Needs an invitation from a recognised Bangladeshi business or local sponsor, plus a letter from the Indian company sending the traveller.

Extensions inside Bangladesh are through the Department of Immigration and Passport (up to 3 years, up to 6 months stay per visit, with sponsor papers; police clearance is not required for a six-month DIP extension).
