Saudis need prior visas to enter Bangladesh

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Dhaka has stressed that the citizens of the kingdom travelling to Bangladesh need to obtain a visa before arriving in the country.

According to the embassy, the competent authorities in Bangladesh have clarified that the Saudi travellers will not be granted on-arrival visas upon landing in the country, reports Saudi Gazette.

Mentioning that it is not possible for Saudis to obtain an entry visa at the airports in Bangladesh, the embassy warned the citizens of the importance of obtaining prior visa before entering the Bangladeshi territory in order to avoid deportation to the destination they came from. The KSA citizens wishing to

travel to Bangladesh must obtain visas from the Bangladeshi Embassy in Riyadh, or the Consulate General in Jeddah.
