Disclaimer: These days, many countries that once gave us visas easily are now refusing or making it very difficult. Sadly, this is because many of our travelers have violated visa rules, overstayed, or used fake documents. Thailand is one of the few countries that still treats Bangladeshi citizens with trust and doesn’t ask for excessive paperwork. We should respect that trust by following the rules and returning home within the approved time.

Our passport is our identity and our pride. The future of our travel opportunities is in our own hands; we should not damage our country’s image through irresponsible actions.

Visa policies can change anytime. Always check with the Thai Embassy official website and other sources for the latest rules before applying.
