SECURITY WARNING: the UK government (FCDO, updated 4 November 2026) advises against all travel to the northern provinces, western Kanem, the Lake Chad region and areas within 30km of Chad's other borders, and against all but essential travel to the rest of the country including N'Djamena. For entry, the UK government says a visa is required and can be applied for through the official e-Visa platform, and the Chadian e-Visa site (evisa.td) announced that from 11 May 2026 all new visa requests must be made on that platform. Bangladesh is not on the visa-exemption list we saw there. The new government fee schedule was not shown on the pages we could read, so the fee is marked for confirmation. Last checked 6 November 2026.
