Egypt to Bangladesh visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders can obtain a Bangladesh Visa on Arrival (VOA) for tourism, valid for up to 30 days, at the three international airports (Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet). Egypt is on the official Special Branch eligible-nationality list. Issuance is at the immigration officer's discretion, so carrying full supporting documents (return ticket, hotel booking, USD 500+ funds) is essential; a pre-arranged visa from the Bangladesh Embassy in Cairo is the safer option. As of mid-2026, Egypt is among the nationalities listed by the Bangladesh Special Branch as eligible for a Visa on Arrival for tourism, trade, investment, or government work. The VOA is single-entry, allows a maximum stay of 30 days, and is issued at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka), Shah Amanat (Chittagong) and Osmani (Sylhet) airports, plus selected India land borders. The fee is approximately USD 50-51 paid in cash (USD/GBP/EUR). Crucially, VOA is granted at the sole discretion of the immigration officer and is NOT guaranteed; travelers must present a confirmed return/onward ticket, hotel booking, and evidence of at least USD 500 in funds. Because of this discretion, travelers who want certainty should apply in advance at the Bangladesh Embassy in Cairo (a standard tourist visa, typically multiple-entry options and longer validity). Note: some aggregator sources (and the Wikipedia summary table) still list "visa required" for Egypt; the authoritative Special Branch VOA portal explicitly names Egypt as eligible, so VOA is the best single fit for a short tourist stay, with the embassy visa as the conservative alternative. Passport must be valid at least 6 months with two blank pages.
