Argentina to Bangladesh visa requirements

Yes, Argentine passport holders need a visa before traveling to Bangladesh. Argentina is not on Bangladesh's visa-free or visa-on-arrival lists, so you must apply in advance for a tourist (sticker) visa at a Bangladesh mission. An Argentine ordinary passport holder requires a visa obtained in advance to enter Bangladesh for tourism. Argentina does not appear on Bangladesh's visa-exemption list, and it is not among the nationalities eligible for Bangladesh's discretionary Visa on Arrival (which covers the US, Canada, EU/European states, Australia, Japan, the Gulf states and a fixed list of others). Bangladesh has announced plans for a full e-visa but, as of mid-2026, no nationwide online e-visa is operational for Argentine tourists: the tourist visa is a sticker visa. The standard process is to complete the online application form at the official portal (visa.gov.bd), print it, and submit it in person with supporting documents at a Bangladesh diplomatic mission. Argentina hosts a Bangladesh consulate in Buenos Aires (Ruggieri 2944), open by appointment; depending on processing capacity, applicants may be directed to a regional mission. The tourist visa is typically valid 3 months from issue, allows a stay of up to 90 days, and is issued single- or multiple-entry. Fees are reciprocity-based and should be confirmed with the mission. Passport must be valid at least 6 months with a blank page. Conservative verdict: visa-required.
