US citizens encouraged to obtain visa before traveling to BD

The US embassy in Dhaka has encouraged all US citizens to obtain a visa before traveling to Bangladesh.
"If friends or family members intend to visit you in Bangladesh, we strongly recommend they obtain a visa before arrival," said the embassy in a message shared on its website.
Recently, the US embassy said, some US citizens, particularly ones born outside the United States, have been "denied entry" into Bangladesh despite believing they had fulfilled the requirements for a visa on arrival.
