The official Indian e-Visa page lists Bangladesh among the eligible nationalities and includes the e-Student Visa (e-S V) among its categories ². It is valid for one year from the grant of the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), with multiple entry ². The page says to recheck eligibility on the portal ². The High Commission of India in Dhaka also publishes a category-wise document list for regular visas, which includes a student visa section ¹.

e-Student visa documents

The e-Visa page lists these for e-Student ²:

• the bio page of your passport
• a letter of admission from a recognised Indian institution, showing the course duration
• a parent or guardian support letter with a bank guarantee, or six months of bank statements
• for medical or paramedical courses, a no-objection certificate from the Health Ministry

The e-Visa fee is country specific plus 3 percent bank charges ². It is non-refundable whether the ETA is granted or rejected, and it must be paid at least 4 days before travel. The e-Visa cannot be extended or converted to another visa type ².

Regular student visa documents

The Dhaka High Commission document list for a student visa includes ¹:

• an original passport valid at least six months from the application date with at least two blank pages, plus old passports
• one recent 2x2 colour photo on a white background
• a copy of your National ID card or birth certificate
• proof of residence, such as a utility bill not older than six months
• proof of financial soundness, for example a foreign-currency endorsement of US$150, a bank statement, or a travel card copy
• a copy of the student ID card from the institution
• a bonafide (admission) letter from a government or government-approved institution in India
• bank solvency papers from the guarantor

How long it takes

The official portal gives one processing statement: a minimum of three working days to process the case and issue a visa, depending on nationality and excluding special cases ³. It is a global figure. No Dhaka-specific student visa time was found.

Checking your status

Indian Visa Online has a "Check your Visa Status" tab on the e-Visa page. The page says applicants can track online and that the ETA status shows as "GRANTED" before travel ². The status enquiry page is ⁴.

The official status enquiry page asks for these ⁴:

• Application ID: 12 characters ⁴.
• Passport number ⁴.
• The security image (captcha) shown on the page ⁴.

The wording "GRANTED" means the e-Visa ETA has been approved. Confirm it before you travel, carry a printed ETA, and show it at the Immigration check post, where the e-Visa is stamped ². "Invalid Captcha" means you typed the security image wrongly ⁴. A message saying no record was found means the portal has no match for those details, so recheck the ID and passport number ⁴. The official page does not publish other status wordings or refusal reasons ².

Have your 12-character Application ID and your passport number ready for the status check on this page.
