the United Kingdom 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 guides below cover these routes in full: what each costs, what to submit, where to apply and how long it takes. Open one for the detail, and use the official sources on this page to confirm anything you intend to act on.

What is different about the United Kingdom

UK visa fees do not vary by nationality, so a Bangladeshi applicant pays the same as anyone else. What changes the amount is how long you want to stay and how long the visa itself lasts. Biometrics are given at a visa application centre 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.
