the United States is one route from Bangladesh among many, and each has its own rules, costs and paperwork. This page is the starting point: it says which guide to open for your purpose, what makes this destination different, and where the official sources are so you can confirm every figure before you pay or travel.
Start with your purpose
The guide below covers one route in full: what it costs, what to submit, where to apply and how long it takes. Open it for the detail, and use the official sources on this page to confirm anything you intend to act on.
- the United States visa guide for Bangladeshi applicants: routes, the fee that applies to you, required documents and application steps.
What is different about the United States
The application fee is the same for every nationality; the figure that varies by passport is the reciprocity issuance fee, and for Bangladesh the visitor categories read Fee: None. You complete the DS-160 online, pay through the embassy’s designated channel, then attend an interview in Dhaka.
Official sources
These are the sources the numbers on this site are read from. Confirm them at the source before you act, because fees and appointment rules change without notice.

How this page is maintained
Every figure here carries the source it came from and the date that source was read. Where a figure could not be confirmed against a dated official source, it is left out rather than estimated. If something here no longer matches the official page, that is worth telling us about.
