The visa
Foreign students study on a student (S) visa, applied for at a Bangladesh embassy or high commission with your admission letter. Your institution must hold ministry approval to admit foreign students.
To extend it in Bangladesh, the Special Branch of Bangladesh Police lists:
- an application form and a recommendation from your institution giving your year, subject, session, roll number, attendance, course length and completion year and a performance appraisal, and declaring that you are not working in Bangladesh
- copies of your passport and visa, and your student ID
- a sponsorship letter and a bank statement
- the institution's list of foreign students and its ministry approval
Extension applications go to the Department of Immigration and Passports, which sends them to the Special Branch for a police report.
The fee depends on your nationality; ask the mission where you apply.
Where to apply
At the embassy or consulate of Bangladesh that covers Armenia, or through the visa application centre it names. Book early: in the busiest months appointments can be weeks away. Apply only through the official website; nobody can sell you a faster place in the queue.
