Foreign nationals in Bangladesh can extend visas by 3 months: ministry

Foreign nationals staying in Bangladesh with valid visas will have the option of extending their visas by three months, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA).

Meanwhile, the ministry has formally notified all diplomatic missions, offices of the UN agencies and international organisations stationed in Dhaka about the temporary travel restrictions it imposed in an effort to halt the spread of coronavirus in the country.

All on-arrival visas of Bangladesh will remain suspended for two weeks for incoming passengers of all countries, the ministry said.

Those who will be arriving in Bangladesh from other coronavirus-affected countries will be placed under self-quarantine for two weeks after their arrival. This will continue until further notice, said the ministry.
