Bahamas visa for Bangladeshis

The Bahamas Ministry of Foreign Affairs page 'Who needs visas to enter The Bahamas' lists designated countries whose citizens need a visa. Bangladesh does not appear on that list as we read it, so Bangladeshi citizens do not appear to need a visa. The page gives no length of stay and third-party sites disagree (90 days or 4 weeks), so stay and other conditions are marked for confirmation. If you do need a visa, the Ministry runs an online eVisa service. Last checked 3 November 2026.

Quick answer: Visa needed?: Bangladesh is not on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs list of designated countries that need a visa. Confirm with the Ministry before travel.. Where to apply: No visa application appears to be needed. If the Ministry says one is needed, apply through the Bahamas eVisa online service. No Bahamian mission in Dhaka was verified.. Confirm before you pay.

How to travel

Official source checked

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs list of designated countries (those needing a visa) does not include Bangladesh. Because this is an absence from a list and the page gives no conditions, confirm with the Ministry or your airline before booking.
An eVisa does not guarantee entry, and neither does visa-free status; immigration officers decide at the port of entry. Be ready to show your purpose of visit, accommodation and funds with genuine documents.

Total cost

Official source checked

Visa government fee: none if no visa is needed. If an eVisa is required it is US$160 for a single-entry visitor visa (US$20 facilitation fee extra for a sponsored visa), paid by Visa, Mastercard or American Express. Travel Counsellor Ltd. service charges, if any, are quoted separately in BDT by our office. Checked 3 November 2026.

Transit and connecting visas

Official source checked

Most flights from Dhaka connect through other countries (often the US, UK, Canada or the Middle East) which may require their own transit or entry visas. Check each country's rules separately.
