PCR testing requirements in Bangladesh

Unvaccinated travellers need to present a negative COVID-19 test certificate issued no more than 72 hours before travel. Fully vaccinated travellers are no longer required to present the negative pre-travel test result if they have submitted proof that they have received full doses of an approved vaccine. Children under 12 years are exempt.

What about testing at the airport?

A PCR test is not necessary upon arrival; however, one must present the negative PCR test report presented before departure.

Passengers who present COVID‑19 symptoms on arrival will be sent to a government-authorised hospital for further check‑up and must undergo 7 days of isolation at government-nominated hotels at their own expense if they test positive for COVID‑19, irrespective of the country of origin and COVID‑19 vaccination status.

PCR testing will be carried out again after 7 days, and they will be released when the test result is negative.
