Current Travel Situation
Bangladesh to India: What You Need to Know
Choose the visa category that matches your trip, such as tourism, medical treatment or business. Application intake and appointments can change. Confirm current arrangements with IVAC and the Indian mission before making non-refundable plans. Visa validity, permitted stay and number of entries are different conditions; use those printed on the visa issued to you.
How to Get There
The official Indian e-Visa portal currently includes Bangladesh in its eligibility list. Confirm that your nationality, purpose and intended entry point are supported by the actual application system before relying on this route. An arrival declaration is not a visa.
Practical Tips
Keep copies of your application and payment receipts. Ensure your intended entry and exit points are permitted by the visa. For medical travel, obtain documents from the treating hospital and apply in the appropriate category. Do not infer a guaranteed 90-day stay or a fixed decision date from a general visa description.
