What happens at the border
1

Most international flights arrive here. After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' — it's before the main immigration counters. The counter is usually on the left side of the arrivals hall.
2
Fill out the visa application form
You'll get a small form at the counter. Fill in your details: name, passport number, flight number, hotel address, and intended length of stay. Bring a pen — they rarely have extras.
3
Submit documents and pay the fee
Hand over your passport, completed form, photos, and cash. The officer will process the visa sticker. Payment is in USD, EUR, or BDT. Keep the receipt.
4
Receive your visa and proceed to immigration
Once the sticker is in your passport, head to the immigration line. Show your passport with the new visa, and you'll get an entry stamp. The whole process takes 15–30 minutes if there's no queue.
