United Kingdom visa for Bangladeshi citizens
Visa required
🇧🇩 Bangladeshi passport → 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: yes — a visa arranged in advance.
How it works
You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.
Heads-up: United Kingdom commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in and border).

Beyond United Kingdom: the Bangladesh passport
The 🇧🇩 Bangladesh passport ranks #192 of 199 worldwide, entering 36 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Bangladesh passport: 🇧🇧 Barbados (180 days), 🇩🇲 Dominica (180 days), 🇫🇯 Fiji (120 days) — all 36 open destinations.
Going the other way? British citizens visiting Bangladesh need a visa on arrival, issued at the border.
