Canadian Refugee Travel Documents are usually accepted for entry into Bangladesh, depending on the applicant’s origin. The Bangladesh Consulate General in Toronto confirmed that in some cases, the RTD may be referred to higher authorities for confirmation before visa processing begins.

A visa is required for Canadian RTD holders travelling to Bangladesh. Having a Canadian Permanent Resident (PR) Card does not change the visa requirement.

Canadian RTD holders should contact the Bangladesh diplomatic mission before making travel arrangements to confirm that their RTD can be accepted based on their country of origin. Where confirmation is required, the application may be referred to higher authorities before visa processing begins.
