Gambia visa for Bangladeshis

We could not open the Gambia Immigration Department pages (gid.gov.gm) from our checking system, and no official page we could read names Bangladeshi ordinary passport holders. Several third-party travel sites say Bangladeshis can enter visa-free for up to 90 days, but we have not confirmed this officially, so all key facts below are marked for confirmation. The March 2025 Bangladesh-Gambia visa-exemption agreement reported by Bangladeshi press covers diplomatic and official passports only. Last checked 5 November 2026.

Quick answer: Visa needed?: Third-party sites say no visa for Bangladeshi ordinary passports; no official page confirmed. Confirm with our office or the Gambia Immigration Department before booking.. Where to apply: If a visa or clearance is required, the Gambia Immigration Department (Banjul) or a Gambian mission handles it. A Gambian mission in Dhaka was not verified.. Confirm before you pay.
