Ordinary students who wish to enroll in any government - approved educational institution will be eligible for a student visa. 

Student visa validity period

A student visa can be issued for a maximum of one year with multiple entry. The length of stay in this category meets the requirements of each visit.

Visa extension

An extension of the course can be obtained from the Department of Immigration and passports (DIP) of Bangladesh.

Required documents:

The processing time for a visa application may vary from applicant to applicant, and in some cases additional administrative processing will be required, so we recommend that you do not buy a ticket until your passport and Visa are returned.

If the Bangladesh High Commission requires the applicant to attend the interview, the consular section of the Bangladesh High Commission will contact the applicant and inform them of the date and time of the interview accordingly.
