Official application site →Mali passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Bangladesh for stays of up to 30 days. There is nothing to apply for in advance — the visa is issued at the airport or land border after you pay the fee. Bring cash in a major currency, a passport valid for at least six months, a return ticket and the address of your first night's accommodation, and expect a queue at busy airports.
The main option is the Visa on Arrival, which costs 50 USD. Bangladesh also offers Tourist (T) visa — see the visa options above.
Whatever your visa status, Bangladesh applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Bangladesh lets 9 passports in without a visa, offers a visa on arrival to 128 and requires an embassy visa from 61. Mali citizens are treated the same way as Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Sao Tome and Principe and South Sudan. Overall the Mali passport ranks #141 in the world with 31 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Asia? With a Mali passport you can also visit 3 countries in the region without a visa, including Hong Kong, Macau and Philippines.
In the other direction, Bangladesh citizens need a visa to visit Mali.
