Russia visa for Bangladeshis

Russia runs an official e-visa portal (electronic-visa.kdmid.ru) for citizens of 64 listed countries, but we could not open the country list to see whether Bangladesh is included when we checked on 31 October 2026. Third-party sources say Bangladeshi citizens are not eligible and must apply at the Russian Embassy in Dhaka with a tourist voucher from a licensed Russian travel agency. Fees, stay and appointment rules are therefore marked 'Confirm with our office' until the embassy page is re-read.

Quick answer: Visa needed?: Yes, reported. Bangladesh is not confirmed on the official e-visa list; third-party sources say a regular visa from the embassy is needed. Confirm.. E-visa portal: Official portal electronic-visa.kdmid.ru says citizens of 64 countries can apply and the e-visa is issued within a maximum of 4 calendar days. The country list did not open, so Bangladesh eligibility is unconfirmed.. Confirm before you pay.
