To travel to Bangladesh, you will need a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay and has at least one blank page. You must also have a Bangladeshi visa and possess an onward or return ticket. It is strongly recommended to obtain a visa before traveling, as there is no guarantee of receiving a visa on arrival. Short-term travelers may be denied entry if they cannot demonstrate sufficient financial liquidity. Overstaying a visa can result in penalties, and changing immigration status after arrival can be difficult. When departing by air, all foreigners except children under the age of two must pay a departure tax. Dual nationals may be eligible for a 'No Visa Required for Travel to Bangladesh' seal. Bangladeshi customs authorities enforce strict regulations on the temporary import or export of certain items. There are also HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors and foreign residents.
