Visitor Visa: Temporary Travel Permission

A Visitor Visa (which is frequently referred to as Tourist or Schengen visa for Europe) enables you to travel to a foreign country for a short visit for non-immigrant purposes such as tourism, visit friends/relatives or short duration events. It does NOT make it possible for you to work or study long-term.

Key Aspects:

Purpose: You need to be here for a legitimate limited time (e.g. a holiday, to visit family, a short business trip)
Validity: Normally issued for a short time (e.g., 15-90 days), single or multiple entry.
No Right to Work/Study: Work or study is not permitted as part of this visa.

General Application Procedure(Bangladeshi Nationals applying from outside):

Specific documents vary by country, but in general you will need:

Passport: with at least 6 months of remaining validity and available pages for visa process.
Application Form: Completed and signed visa application form. Many countries have online forms.
Latest Passport-Size Photographs: Compliant with certain size, background and age standards.
Financial Proof: Bank statements (from the last 3-6 months), salary slips, or sponsor letters proving that you have enough money to cover the cost of your trip.
Travel Itinerary: Confirmed return tickets booking and accommodation proof (hotel booking or invitation letter from host).
Purpose of Visit:
- For Traveling: detailed itinerary of tourist attractions.
- Inviting Relatives/ Friends: Invitation letter by the host with ID/residence proof and relationship.
- For business/conference: Original invitation letter from the host company/organization.
Ties to Home Country (Bangladesh): Very important to show that you will return. This includes:
- Proof of Employment: NOC (No Objection Certificate) from employer, leave sanction letter, salary slips.
- Business Proof: Trade license, business bank statements.
- Family Marriages certificates: The babies’ birth certificates if applicable.
- Property Documents.
Health/Travel Insurance: Required in many countries (especially Schengen countries) that can should cover medical emergencies and repatriation (e.g., minimum €30,000 for Schengen).
Visa Fee: Non-refundable and based on your nationality and the type of visa.

Application Process:

Determine Visa Type: The type of visa you require is a visitor visa to the U.S.
Check the Requirements: Check the official website of the embassy, consulate or visa application center (VFS Global, for example) for your destination country in Dhaka. Requirements can change.
The following documents are required:” Gather Documents: You will have to produce a number of original and photocopy documents.
Full Application: Please type form.
Pay Fee: Pay the visa application fee.
Schedule Appointment: Schedule submission and biometric (fingerprint/photo) \*appointments.
Go to Your Interview (if necessary): You need to be ready to answer a few questions about your trip, funds, and connection to Bangladesh.
Send Application: Deliver all the materials the way you were told.
In Process: This can take a long time (from a few days to a few weeks). Never book a non-refundable flight before you know your visa has been accepted.

Common Reasons for Visitor Visa Refusal (mainly for Bangladeshi applicants):

Below, I list a few reasons why visitors’ visa applications are refused:

Not Enough Money: You Money is not enough for the trip.
Weak Ties to Bangladesh: Inability to persuade the visa officer that you will return home.
Deficient/Wrong Application: Documents not attached or wrong/false information.
Insufficient Funds for Travel: Generic or conflicting purpose of travel.
Prior Visa Violations: Precedent of overstay or violating terms in other countries.
Passport: Damaged passport, passport has less than six months validity, or no blank pages.

Always tell true what you have to say, all information should be identical and reason of returning back to Bangladesh must be strong.
