Indian citizens need a visa to visit Bangladesh, whether for tourism, family visits or business. The visa is issued as a sticker in your passport by the Bangladesh High Commission or its Deputy High Commissions in India. Applicants first complete the online visa form and then submit the printed form, passport and supporting documents in person or through an authorised channel. Service levels and appointment availability can change with the bilateral situation, so it is wise to check the current position before planning dates.
Audvik simplifies every stage. Our team reviews your documents, completes the online form correctly, prepares a clear covering letter where needed and guides you on submission and collection. We keep you updated on the application status and flag any changes to embassy rules. Once your visa is ready, we can also arrange flights, hotels in Dhaka or Cox's Bazar, travel insurance and local transport for a smooth trip.

Bangladesh visa FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Bangladesh?
Yes, Indian passport holders need a valid visa to enter Bangladesh for tourism, business or family visits. The visa is applied for through the Bangladesh High Commission system in India, starting with an online form, and is issued as a sticker in your passport.
How long does a Bangladesh visa take for Indians?
Processing typically takes five to ten working days after submission, but timelines vary with the season, the type of visa and current embassy workload. Business and employment visas may take longer. We suggest applying at least three to four weeks before your planned travel date.
Can I visit Bangladesh on a business visa for tourism?
No, you should travel on the visa category that matches your purpose. A business visa is meant for meetings, trade or conferences, while a tourist visa covers sightseeing and leisure. Using the wrong category can cause problems at immigration and affect future applications.
Is it safe to travel to Bangladesh right now?
Conditions can change, so always check the latest Government of India (MEA) travel advisory before you book. Most business and family travel continues normally, but avoid large gatherings, register with the Indian mission if staying longer, and keep emergency contacts ready throughout your trip.
