With lush landscapes and a rich culture, Bangladesh, a country located in South Asia, is the eighth populous country in the world, with 173.6 million, as of 2024.

As the country's youth seek to either explore the world, or venture on a hunt for job opportunities, a large number of Bangladeshis fly to different parts of the world. In the UAE, 1.2 million Bangladeshis are estimated to live and work here, constituting the third largest expatriate community in the country.

With global destinations increasingly becoming interconnected, several countries offer visa-free access to foreigners, depending on the passport they hold. However, it is essential to check the conditions for each individual destination, such as purpose of travel, duration of stay etc., and keep track of advisories issued by the country's authority.
