Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a visa before travel | Brazilian passport holders need a visa to enter Bangladesh. Apply at the nearest Bangladesh embassy or consulate before departure — there is no visa on arrival for Brazilian nationals. Processing takes 5–10 working days; submit your passport, photos, and a completed application form.Apply for visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry into Bangladesh. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Bangladesh | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a digital booking ready — a flight itinerary showing your exit from Bangladesh within the visa validity period works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Bangladesh. Immigration may ask where you are staying — a printed booking confirmation avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient money for your stay | Have bank statements or a credit card ready to show you can cover your expenses. Immigration rarely asks, but having $500–$1,000 equivalent in cash or a card gives you a clean answer. | Recommended |
Apply early — no walk-in option
There is no visa on arrival for Brazilians. You must have an approved e-Visa before you board your flight to Bangladesh. Apply at least 7 days in advance.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your e-Visa approval, return ticket, and hotel booking as PDFs on your phone. Dhaka airport's Wi-Fi can be unreliable, so download them before you fly.
