Kosovo visa from Bangladesh: Dhaka embassy, 40 EUR fee and appeals
Last checked against official sources on
Kosovo's foreign ministry archive lists Bangladesh under "You need a visa to visit or transit Kosovo" 1. The page says visas may be obtained from Kosovo's posts in Tirana (Albania) and Istanbul (Turkey) 1. The same archive lists an Embassy of the Republic of Kosovo to Bangladesh at House CEN (D) #3, Apt A6, Road 95, Gulshan-2, Dhaka, with the email embassy.bangladesh@rks-gov.net and the phone number +88-02-8881180 2. The visa page is undated and may predate consular services in Dhaka, so confirm with the Dhaka embassy 1.
Applying
Applications are lodged in person at the Kosovo mission, no more than three months before travel 3. The fee is 40 EUR, with exemptions for diplomatic and official passport holders, children under six, and certain students, teachers and school children. Bank details come from the mission 3. The documents listed are a signed form, an ICAO photo no older than one month, a passport valid 3 months beyond departure with 2 blank pages, the purpose of the trip, accommodation, funds and travel medical insurance. They must be translated into Albanian or Serbian, in two copies 3.
A refusal can be appealed within 8 calendar days to the mission where the application was lodged 3.
Numbers
The Kosovo consulate in Dhaka received 1,075 entry-visa applications in 2023, all nationalities. That was the most of any post, ahead of Skopje (453), Istanbul (304) and Tirana (250) 4.
The consular pages read do not describe a student visa route or a processing time.
Kosovo has no status system on the pages read, so have your passport details and application date ready when you contact the Dhaka embassy.
