What the Bangladesh visa rules mean for Mauritius travellers

Mauritius citizens need a visa issued in advance by an embassy or consulate of Bangladesh. Start the application several weeks before departure: you will typically need a passport valid for six months with blank pages, a completed application form, passport photos, a travel itinerary, proof of accommodation and of sufficient funds, and sometimes an invitation letter or bank statements.

The main option is the Tourist (T) visa.

Overstay penalties

BDT 1,000

Illegal stay by foreigners who came on valid visas may be regularised on payment of a penalty: BDT 1,000 per day for the first 15 days, BDT 2,000 per day beyond 15 days up to 90 days, and BDT 3,000 per day beyond 90 days. A court case may also be filed under the Foreigners Act 1946. For an overstay of up to 7 days, the passport holder can leave by appearing at the Department of Immigration and Passports or the immigration authority at the airport or land port and paying the fine, service charge and visa fee. If a visa extension is applied for after the visa expires, the penalty and the visa regularisation fee apply. The UK government says you could get a fine for overstaying.
