As of 2026, Bangladeshi passport holders will have to pay a refundable visa bond after receiving visa approval. US Ambassador Brent T. Christensen has stated that it must be paid after the applicant has received a clear confirmation of their acceptance and not before. Moreover, it must be paid directly, based on instructions provided, and not through a third-party.
The bond may range from $5,000 to $15,000. Once the traveller returns within the designated time, while abiding by the conditions accepted beforehand, it will be automatically cancelled and refunded.
Visitors are required to check the “Admit Until Date” on their I-94 record to determine their authorized period of stay. The expiration date of a B1/B2 visitor visa does not determine the length of stay.
