Qatar visa for Bangladeshi passport holders
The answer below is for a tourist trip with nothing else declared. If you already hold another country's visa, live abroad, or are travelling on business or in transit, use the checker to get your own answer. We cover tourist, transit and business travel only.
eVisa online
Apply on the official portal before you fly. No embassy appointment.
What to prepare
A filled dot is required, a hollow one is asked for sometimes. This list is for your situation, so it is shorter than a generic checklist.
Identity
Passport bio-page copy
A clear colour copy or scan of the photo page.
Passport-size photographs
Recent photographs on a plain white background. Confirm the exact size the mission asks for; it is not the same everywhere.
Travel and application
Accommodation booking
Bookings covering every night of the trip, or the host address if you are staying privately.
Completed application form
Filled in, signed and dated. Online forms have to be submitted and the confirmation printed.
Flight reservation
A confirmed booking, not a paid ticket. Do not buy the ticket before the visa is issued.
Travel medical insuranceif asked
Cover for the whole trip. Schengen missions require at least EUR 30,000 of medical cover.

Every tourist visa asks how you support yourself and why you are expected back.
Client contracts or work orders
Signed agreements or invoices showing work that is ongoing.
Pension or retirement proof
Your pension book, PPO, or the letter confirming your retirement benefit.

A letter from your institution confirming that you are enrolled.
Trade licence
Your current trade licence, with an English translation.

Bank-stamped statement for the sponsor account.
