Contact your nearest Bangladeshi Consulate for specific details as requirements vary for different countries.
Apply for an R visa (preferably with multiple entries) at the Bangladesh Embassy in your country of domicile. You would need a passport with a validity of at least 3-6 six months (please check with concerned Embassy). Please contactinternational.internship@bracbank.com if you require an official letter from BRAC Bank for your visa. Visa costs, including any travel expenses associated with visa applications or renewals, are to be completely borne by interns.

You are therefore advised to obtain a visa for the whole duration of your anticipated stay in Bangladesh. |
