Why this verdict

Pakistani citizens are encoded from Bangladesh's official destination source set (Bangladesh visa application route). This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, tourism / short visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, long-term stay, diplomatic/service passports, special travel documents, route-specific waivers, airline handling and immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.

Conditional rules

Work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay Visa required

The short-visitor rule encoded here does not cover work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay.
Bangladesh visa-on-arrival traveller-category eligibility Conditional

Up to 30 days. Bangladesh's VOA instructions say VOA is for eligible travellers and remains discretionary. Travellers outside the encoded conservative VOA cohort should confirm eligibility with an official source before relying on arrival handling.
