India remains the most-searched visa destination for Bangladeshis — and the most misfiled. Between the online portal and IVAC’s sticker-visa stream, choosing the wrong channel adds weeks.
Which visa do you need?
| Purpose | Route | Fee (USD) | Processing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tourism ≤30 days | e-Tourist Visa (online) | 25 | 3–5 days |
| Medical treatment | e-Medical Visa (online) | 80 | 3–5 days |
| Business | Sticker via IVAC | 160 | 7–14 days |
| Study | Sticker via IVAC | 25 | 7–21 days |
| Employment | Sticker via IVAC | 100+ | 2–4 weeks |
The IVAC sticker route
Business, student, employment and long-term visas file through IVAC (Indian Visa Application Center) in Gulshan 2. Book the appointment at ivacbd.com, attend with originals plus one set of photocopies, and track the passport return online. Peak-season slots open 2–3 weeks ahead.
Most rejected eVisa applications fail on one of three things: photo ratio, blurry passport scan, or a name mismatch between passport and application.
