🇧🇩 Bangladesh visa requirements for Motswana citizens

Entry rules for Botswana passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Botswana can travel to Bangladesh for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 90 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 90-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Bangladesh, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

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 Motswana passport ranks #115 worldwide, opening 77 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (47 visa-free, 24 with a visa on arrival and 6 with an eTA). Bangladesh is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Bangladeshi citizens need to arrange entry to Botswana in advance (e-visa).

Across Southern Asia as a whole, 6 of 9 destinations are open to Motswana travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
