About the honorary consulate in Sarajevo
Citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina need a visa for Bangladesh, according to the Bosnian Foreign Ministry’s visa information – this applies to ordinary biometric passports. Visas are issued in The Hague. The ministry notes that an electronic visa can be applied for online. Apply well before travelling and check the current requirements with the mission responsible. See the ministry’s visa information page for this country.
Which Bangladeshi office issues passports and visas?
The Bangladeshi Embassy in The Hague (accredited to Bosnia and Herzegovina) is the place for passports and most consular matters; the honorary consul can advise but does not replace it.
Note: Bangladesh has no resident embassy in Sarajevo; its embassy in The Hague is accredited to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Bangladesh and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Bangladeshi citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
