How Bangladeshis apply

Official source checked

The Iranian Embassy in Dhaka states that people living in Bangladesh can apply through its Consular Section and submit the application on the Iranian e-visa portal. Whether a particular visa category is open to a Bangladeshi passport holder is decided by the Iranian authorities.
Some third-party guides say Bangladeshi nationals cannot use the online route for arrival at the airport. We have not verified this on an official page, so please confirm with our office before booking anything non-refundable.

Fees, stay and timing

Confirm with our office

We could not verify the visa fee, the permitted stay or the validity from an official page on 30 October 2026. Sources online give different stay lengths, so we do not publish a number. Fees and rules change; confirm the current BDT amount with our office.
