Bangladesh passport holders: Single entry for Ukraine. Fee: USD 65 (~USD 65). Processing: Typically 2-3 weeks (1-2 weeks embassy processing + ~1 week document transit between Dhaka and New Delhi); can run longer given war-related embassy workload. Indicative only — always verify with the official mission before applying.
Overview
CORRECTION: Bangladesh is NOT among the ~45 nationalities eligible for Ukraine's e-Visa system (relaunched Feb 2025) — confirmed via three independent sources that enumerate the full eligible-country list (the only South Asian nations on it are India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and the Maldives). Bangladeshi applicants must obtain a standard Type C sticker visa through the Ukrainian Embassy in New Delhi (Ukraine has no mission in Dhaka; Dhaka-based agents such as Sticker Visa / VAS BD handle document preparation and routing). Fee approx. USD 65 standard / USD 130 urgent. Ukraine's airspace remains fully closed to civilian aviation since 24 Feb 2022 and is STILL closed as of mid-2026 (a government working group was formed in March 2026 to plan reopening, tentatively starting with Lviv, but no relaunch has occurred yet) — travellers must fly to a neighbouring country (Poland/Romania/Moldova) and cross by land. A ceasefire attempt (the April 2026 Easter truce) collapsed with fighting resuming; UK/US 'Do Not Travel' advisories remain in force. Travel remains strongly discouraged.
Visa types: Standard Type C visa via Embassy only (single/multi-entry, up to 90 days) — Bangladesh is confirmed NOT eVisa-eligible. Business, Student, Work, Family Reunification, Long-stay (D), Transit, Diplomatic are also embassy-only. Travel STRONGLY DISCOURAGED — active war, airspace closed since Feb 2022.
