Sierra Leone visa for Bangladeshis

The Sierra Leone Immigration Department (SLID) directs visa applicants to its official eVisa portal at evisa.sl. The SLID pages we could read give the department's address and phone numbers but no visa fee, stay length, processing time or Bangladesh-specific rule, and the portal itself did not display those details to our checking tool. Third-party sites quote about USD 80 for a 30-day tourist eVisa and 3 to 5 business days, but these are unofficial, so those items are marked for confirmation. Last checked 5 November 2026.

Quick answer: Visa needed?: Likely yes. SLID directs applicants to the eVisa portal; no page we read lists Bangladesh as exempt. Confirm before booking.. Where to apply: Online at the official eVisa portal evisa.sl (SLID). A Sierra Leone mission in Dhaka was not verified.. Confirm before you pay.
