| Valid passport Must be valid for 6 months beyond departure | Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining from your date of departure from Bangladesh. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers in Bangladesh routinely ask for proof of a confirmed return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. Without one, you risk being refused entry at the airport. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Bangladesh. Immigration may ask where you are staying — having a printed booking avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card balance | Have evidence of enough funds for your stay — around $500 USD equivalent in cash or a bank statement. Officers rarely ask, but if they do, you need to show you can cover your expenses. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival for Moroccans
Unlike some other nationalities, Moroccan passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival at any Bangladeshi port. You must have an approved e-Visa before you board your flight.
e-Visa only at airports
The e-Visa is only valid for entry through Dhaka, Chittagong, or Sylhet airports. If you plan to enter by land from India or Myanmar, you'll need a different visa type — contact the Bangladesh embassy in Rabat.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the e-Visa online
Go to www.evisa.gov.bd and fill out the application. You'll need a digital passport photo, a scan of your passport bio page, and details of your travel and accommodation. Pay the fee online. Processing usually takes 3–7 business days, but can be longer during peak periods.
2
Receive and print your visa approval
Once approved, you'll get an email with a PDF of your visa. Print it and also save a copy on your phone. You'll need to show it at the airport check-in counter and again at immigration in Bangladesh.
3
Arrive at a Bangladeshi airport
You must enter through one of the designated e-Visa ports: Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka), Shah Amanat International Airport (Chittagong), or Osmani International Airport (Sylhet). Land crossings are not yet supported for e-Visa holders.
4
Go through immigration
At the immigration counter, hand over your passport, printed visa approval, and return ticket. The officer will stamp your passport with a visa sticker. Expect a short queue — 10–30 minutes at busy times.

Frequently asked questions

You will be denied entry. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced. If your passport is close to expiring, renew it before applying for the e-Visa.
