Hello, Globe-trotters and Culture Seekers!

If you're planning to dive into the vibrant culture, lush landscapes, or the bustling streets of Bangladesh, you'll first need to navigate the thrilling waters of obtaining a visa. But fear not! I'm here to guide you through the Bangladesh visa application process in the UK with more flair than a rickshaw driver dodging Dhaka traffic!

A Tale from the Trenches

About 20 years ago, I embarked on what was supposed to be a blissful trip to Bangladesh with my wife and young daughter. Picture this: landing in Dhaka, feeling the buzz of excitement, only to realise—oops!—we hadn't secured a No Visa Required (NVR) stamp for my daughter's British passport. Instead, she was slapped with a 28-day tourist visa. The clock was ticking faster than the fans at Dhaka airport!

Before the visa's expiration date, our family, resembling a band of wide-eyed tourists, embarked on an adventure from Sylhet to Dhaka. Armed with relatives for guidance (and moral support), we navigated the city's charming chaos. Our mission? Extend that pesky visa. What ensued was a saga of spending 2.5 days at the passport office, from the crack of dawn till dusk. I could've expedited the process with a bribe, but I wouldn’t part with my principles (or my pounds!).

Amidst the bureaucratic ballet, we turned our ordeal into an adventure. We explored Dhaka Zoo, marvelled at the architectural wonder of the Bangladesh Parliament, and enjoyed the local hospitality. It was frustrating but memorable—a classic family holiday with a twist!

Why Suffer When You Can Simplify?

Let my past misadventure be your learning curve. With over two decades of personal and professional experience navigating visa applications, I offer a service that ensures you won't have to repeat my Dhaka days.

Visa by Post: Because let’s face it, who fancies queuing up when you can sort everything from the comfort of your home? Send your application to the Bangladesh High Commission, and don’t forget a self-addressed envelope—unless you fancy a trip to the post office for fun.

Visa Application Know-Hows

Ensure your paperwork is in order because acceptance isn’t guaranteed—much like predicting the English weather. Plan no travel until you have that visa in hand, unless you enjoy the thrill of uncertainty.

No Visa Required (NVR) – The VIP Pass

Get that golden ticket for unlimited entries into Bangladesh. Apply in person or by post and remember, the fee is non-refundable, even if it’s tempting to think otherwise.

Wondering about the details? Get all the necessary information and requirements directly from the Bangladesh High Commission's NVR page. This golden ticket gives you unlimited entries into Bangladesh within the validity of your passport.

Urgent Tips Before Applying for NVR:

Use a Windows PC, avoid special characters like they’re last season’s fashion, and skip the payment option while filling up online—think of it as your path to a hassle-free application.

Navigating this process can be as perplexing as trying to understand why Brits talk about the weather so much. Why not let me take the reins? For a small fee, I’ll ensure your application is as smooth as a well-brewed cup of chai.
