For Australian travellers
Visiting Bangladesh from Australia: visa options, flights via Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, the time difference and private tours priced in Australian dollars.
Australian citizens are eligible for a 30-day visa on arrival at Dhaka airport (US$50 in cash, plus processing), or can apply in advance through visa.gov.bd and the Bangladesh High Commission in Canberra.
Checked October 2026. Rules change — confirm with the official sources and the Bangladesh High Commission, Canberra before you book flights. Full details: Bangladesh visa guide.
There are no non-stop flights from Australia. Connect via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok (Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Thai and partners) or via the Gulf.
Bangladesh is closer than most Australians think: a single connection in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok gets you to Dhaka in well under a day. The best time to go — November to February — falls in the Australian summer holidays, which makes it an easy add-on to a wider Asia trip.
Expect warm hospitality, exceptional food and landscapes you won't find anywhere else: the mangroves of the Sundarbans, the tea estates of Sreemangal and the long golden beach of Cox's Bazar. Our private guides handle the logistics so you can simply enjoy it.
Details below were checked in October 2026; confirm visa rules with official sources before you travel.
