🇧🇩 Bangladesh visa requirements for Thai citizens

Entry rules for Thailand passport holders

Thai citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Bangladesh. Applications generally go through a Bangladesh embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Bangladesh immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Thai passport ranks #109 worldwide, opening 82 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (40 visa-free, 37 with a visa on arrival and 5 with an eTA). Bangladesh is not among them — it is one of the 83 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.

The arrangement is reciprocal: Bangladeshi citizens traveling to Thailand face the same requirement (visa required).

Across Southern Asia as a whole, 5 of 9 destinations are open to Thai travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
