Overview

Visa required for ordinary Bangladeshi passports. The Chinese Embassy/Consular Section Dhaka's own dedicated Hong Kong SAR visa page (fetched twice, consistent both times) states a flat BDT-denominated fee: BDT 3,300 per visa for regular service (4 working days), or an extra BDT 2,700 (BDT 6,000 total) for express service (3 working days). This is charged as a flat BDT amount, not a daily HKD conversion. Converted at current market rates this is roughly USD 27, broadly consistent with (slightly below) the DB's prior HKD 230 (~USD 29) figure. Aggregator sites show a wider, less reliable range (HKD 230-330 / BDT 3,300-5,000) reflecting agent mark-ups — treat the embassy's own BDT 3,300 figure as most authoritative.

Visa types: Tourist Visa (single/multi-entry); Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) for some nationalities (Bangladesh NOT in list — full visa needed); Business Visa; Employment Visa; Investment Visa; Training Visa; Student Visa; Dependant Visa; Transit (≤7 days with confirmed onward ticket). Apply at Chinese Embassy Dhaka (HK Immigration via Beijing).
