Limits of the record
  • The NVR page lists application form, photographs, identity/relationship documents and the standard fee (US$88); it states no separate financial support, accommodation or insurance obligation for the sponsor or the applicant.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The No Visa Required (NVR) endorsement is placed in the family member's own foreign passport and allows multiple entries into Bangladesh with an unlimited duration of stay for the duration of the passport. The consular page of the Bangladesh mission that receives fees in Thai Baht only gives a delivery time of five working days and a standard fee of US$88; the official source does not state the figures at other missions.

Limits of the record
  • This is one mission's (Bangkok) page; NVR is issued through Bangladesh diplomatic missions generally and fee/processing details may vary by mission — not confirmed as a single nationwide figure.
