Bangladesh Passport Power in 2026
The Bangladeshi passport allows visa-free entry to a small number of countries and visa-on-arrival or e-visa access to many more. Even where visa is granted easily, airlines almost always require proof of onward travel — making a dummy ticket essential.

Why You Still Need a Dummy Ticket for VOA Destinations
Even where you can get a visa on arrival, airlines require proof of onward or return travel before boarding. Without this, you will be denied boarding in Dhaka. EchoFlights provides this proof for 100 Taka.
