Visas and work permits for foreign nationals

Foreign nationals working, investing or studying in Bangladesh must hold the correct visa category and, for employment, a work permit from BIDA (or BEPZA for EPZ companies). Overstaying or working on the wrong category attracts daily fines and can bar future entry.

Our immigration desk handles recommendations, applications, extensions and clearances so your expatriate staff can focus on the job. For personalised help, contact us.
