Bangladesh passport holders: Single entry for Libya. Fee: USD 150–200 (~USD 150–200). Processing: 6+ weeks. Indicative only — always verify with the official mission before applying.

Overview

Visa required; travel remains strongly discouraged. Libya is still politically divided in 2026 (UN-recognised Government of National Unity in Tripoli vs. a rival eastern administration) — confirmed via a Feb-2026-dated news reference. UK FCDO guidance explicitly warns a Libyan visa 'issued overseas may not be recognised in some areas or at certain ports of entry' because of this instability. Libya launched a national e-Visa system (evisa.gov.ly) on 21 March 2024: single-entry tourist e-Visa, ~USD 63, 90-day validity, 30-day max stay, for eligible nationalities — but Bangladesh's eligibility for this route could not be confirmed this session (the portal blocks automated access), and independent/non-sponsored tourism reportedly remains generally disallowed regardless of visa route. Libya maintains a resident Embassy in Dhaka — the applicable mission for Bangladeshi applicants, correcting the prior 'Libyan Embassy New Delhi' routing.

Visa types: Tourist Visa (sticker via embassy); Business Visa; Work Visa; Student Visa; Transit; Diplomatic/Official. Travel STRONGLY DISCOURAGED due to ongoing conflict. Apply at Libyan Embassy New Delhi (limited operations). Sponsorship required.
