Mali visa for Bangladeshis

SECURITY WARNING: the UK government (FCDO) advises against all travel to the whole of Mali. Armed groups have set up blockades on key routes including around Bamako, and kidnapping risk is high. For entry, UK government advice says a visa is required and can be applied for and paid entirely online through the Malian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, with the permit issued electronically. We could not open an official Malian page for fees, so fees, documents and Bangladesh rules are marked for confirmation. Last checked 5 November 2026.

Quick answer: Security advisory: UK FCDO advises against all travel to Mali; overland exit routes are dangerous; consular support is severely limited.. Visa needed?: Yes (UK government advice). Bangladesh-specific rule not seen on an official Malian page; confirm.. Confirm before you pay.
