What You Need to Know

Bangladeshi citizens with ordinary passports planning to travel to Thailand must obtain a visa before their journey, regardless of the purpose of travel. However, for those transiting through Thailand, a visa is not required if they remain within the airport's transit area for up to 12 hours and do not pass through immigration control. But if travelers need to pass through immigration or if their transit exceeds 12 hours, a visa is necessary. The visa application process should be initiated at a Thai Embassy or Consulate, with the type of visa depending on the purpose and duration of the visit.

Required Documents for Visa Application:

• A passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry.
• A completed visa application form.
• Recent passport-size photographs.
• A confirmed travel itinerary, including return flights and accommodation bookings.
• Proof of sufficient funds to cover expenses during the stay in Thailand.

Bilateral Agreement

Under the bilateral agreement between Thailand and Bangladesh, Bangladeshi nationals holding Diplomatic passports can enter Thailand visa-free for stays of up to 30 days. This agreement encompasses various purposes of visits such as tourism, business meetings, and official duties, fostering smooth travel for Bangladeshi diplomatic and official representatives. The objective is to promote diplomatic and official exchanges between the two countries. If the visit extends beyond the 30-day limit, Bangladeshi individuals must obtain an appropriate visa for the extended stay and the specific purpose of their visit to Thailand.

Additional Information:

The ultimate decision for entry into Thailand lies with the immigration officers at the point of entry, irrespective of whether the traveler holds a valid visa. Entry may be denied if the traveler is deemed to fall under the prohibited categories as outlined in the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979).
