Bangladesh visa for Japanese citizens

For Bangladeshi passport holders planning a journey to the Land of the Rising Sun, a visa is required, with options ranging from tourist and business to transit and various work permits among the 16 available visa types. A standard single-entry tourist visa, for instance, typically costs around 3,000 BDT and allows stays up to 90 days, though specific durations vary by purpose. Travelers often find themselves booking connecting flights from Dhaka to major Japanese hubs like Tokyo or Osaka, usually via Southeast Asian cities like Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, a journey that crosses a significant time difference with Japan being three hours ahead of Bangladesh. While planning your trip, consider that the cherry blossom season in spring and the autumn foliage draw considerable numbers, potentially impacting flight and accommodation availability.
