Getting There

Shahjalal International Airport (formerly Zia International Airport) in Dhaka is the main gateway towards the country, even if Chittagong and Sylhet too get international flights.

Obtaining a Visa

The following nationals don't need a visa to stop by Bangladesh : citizens of Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Bhutan, Dominica, Fiji, Gambia, Grenada, Guinea-Bissau, Jamaica, Guyana, Honduras, Lesotho, Malawi, Maldives, Montserrat, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent as well as the Grenadines, Seychelles, Solomon Islands, Uruguay, Vatican City and Zambia for stays of as much as ninety days. Citizens of all some other countries need visa to enter Bangladesh. They like you to get it in your own home country, however it is really too potential in some embassies and consulates in neighboring countries. Visas can be obtained on arrival no more than if the country you are a citizen of has no Bangladeshi diplomatic mission in your home country, or in the event you are a 'privileged investor' invited by a Bangladeshi export trade body. Be ready to show paperwork indicating invitations direct from mentioned government organizations. If you apply in your own home country you are able to usually acquire a 3 month visa when arriving by air, or 15 days when arriving at a land border crossing. Fees change depending on nationality and length of visa asked for. Citizens should acquire visas from their home countries practically in most cases unless an Embassy/High Commission does not exist there. In the latter case a Visa will certainly be issued in Bangladesh on arrival.

Money

Currency used in Bangladesh is Taka (Tk). As of September 2010, US $1 = Tk 71. 30. ATMs could be found in most metropolitan locations. Dutch Bangla Bank has got the largest ATM network in Bangladesh and obtaining one is not hard (there is one on the airports of each Dhaka and Chittagong). These ATMs settle for all Mastercard and Visa credit/debit cards. Most international banks in the country for example Standard Chartered and Citibank also rely upon the Dutch-Bangla Bank Nexus™ ATM network for their own clients. HSBC ATMs are located in most hotels however settle for only Visa debit/credit cards and HSBC GlobalAccess™ cards (no Mastercard). 

Health

Bottled water is recommended, just like the tap water is often unsafe for overseas stomachs, and a few hand-drawn tube wells are contaminated along with naturally occurring arsenic. This can simply pass through filters made only to screen out bacteria. A more environmentally friendly choice is to boil your own individual water, or use purifying tablets. However, nothing short of distillation can eliminate arsenic. 

Safety

Bangladesh is a country full of friendly and open up minded people. But become a poor country which has a high poverty rate, usually there are some impoverished or bad-natured those that may discover ways to exploit a foreigner/tourist. Use logic precautions, for example not walking all-around unnecessarily or alone after dark. 

Transportation

Air travel among Bangladesh is incredibly reasonable and convenient. Local Bangladeshi buses are usually crowded, often towards the extent of people riding on the bus ways (entrance) and sometimes even the roof. The state operate Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) buses usually fall into this category. Avoid all of the low cost buses - they're quite simple to spot by their poor situation. There are day by day fatal accidents involving all of these. If you are doing use all of these, its worth noting which they don't usually stop, however rather slow down slightly to allow passengers on or off. Additionally, fare collectors, disconcertingly, don't wear uniform making all of these difficult to determine. If you don't speak the language you'll really need to simply jump on the bus (literally) and give money to the first person who asks you. Trains are usually comfy, along with more leg space than buses. Though the carriages are usually not very clean, the AC and 1st class seats are manageable. Sulob class will be the highest 2nd class ticket, along with reserved seating and not much differ from 1st class (except in price).
