That’s right! 21 extra visa-free countries on your Bangladeshi passport!

From Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, and Panama to Bosnia, Georgia, and Macedonia, your US visa makes visiting these countries much simpler, even with a Bangladeshi passport. This also eliminates delays in waiting for additional visas and reduces costs associated with multiple applications.

Immigration Officers Treat You Better

Even with a valid visa, some countries treat travelers with weaker passports really badly.

Have you heard of Malaysian immigration deporting Bangladeshi nationals from their airport?

… or Cambodian immigration interrogates Bangladeshi passport holders separately?

Even Indonesia started questioning travelers with Bangladeshi passports and harassing them.

These are some examples; being weaker passport holders, we face invasive questioning upon entry to many countries. However, the presence of a United States visa is often enough for immigration officers to grant you preferential treatment and bypass any further inquiry.

Why?

The United States has a stringent visa screening process, ensuring that all foreign visitors have been thoroughly vetted before the approval of a visa. Immigration officers from other countries know this fact.

Also – some countries assume you might stay in their country illegally. So they ask for extra documentation that might prove your return. But with a valid US visa, this assumption becomes invalid, as, if you are to illegally live in a country, that country will be the US, not theirs.

Transit Without Visas in the United Kingdom and Schengen Area

Not only can you visit 21 countries without visas, but with a valid US visa, you don’t need visas when transiting through the United Kingdom or the Schengen area either.

This means that if your flight has layovers in either of these places (27 Schengen member states), you don’t need to worry about getting additional visas just to pass through them.

Issued For Loooooong 5 Years

One of the major benefits of having a US visa is that they are valid for 5 years on Bangladeshi passports!

That’s right – 5 long years!

While Schengen visas or most visas from other countries are issued for 15 days to 3 months, a US visa is issued for 5 years. So if you’re looking for long-term travel plans, getting a US visa could be your first target to make the remaining trips easier.

Once your US visa is approved, it can remain valid for 5 years without further paperwork or processing time.

Canada Can+ Visa Processing

If you have a valid non-immigrant US visa, you can get your Canada visa approved without any financial paperwork. They call it Can+ processing, and you can get your Canada visitor visa approved in as fast as 48 hours! While a regular Canada visitor visa can take up to 4-6 months.

The visa must be applied for from the IRCC’s new portal to get the benefit.

But there is a caution!

If you have a prior Canadian visa refusal, Can+ processing is not guaranteed. You should apply for your visa from the old portal with adequate financial documents.

Other Country Visas Are Easier To Obtain

Having a valid US visa in your passport can make it easier to obtain other country visas as well, such as the United Kingdom. Your documents are less scrutinized, and your visa is approved faster.

This can be true for most other visa applications, not just UK or Canada. Immigration officers often look favorably at applicants who already have valid US visas. So, having one could boost your chances of being granted entry into other countries.

Australian Visitor Visas Approved For 3 Years, Multiple Entry

Australian visitor visa (Subclass 600) is normally granted for 1 year, with multiple entries for Bangladeshi nationalities.

But there is a catch if you have a valid US visa on your passport.

If you apply for an Australia tourist visa (subclass 600) even for just 3 months, they will grant you a visitor visa for 3 years. The same happened with so many applicants from Bangladesh, and we processed many of them at the Visa Processing Center.

Cheaper Flights & Caribbean Connections

When traveling from Europe or Asia to Latin America or the Caribbean, flights are often cheaper if they involve transit via the United States. In addition, many flights from North America only operate from the United States.

So, if you’re looking for cheap flights from North America to places like Jamaica or Cuba, having a US visa can help you get affordable tickets.

Final Verdict

All things considered, there are many advantages to obtaining a US visa beyond simply being able to visit 21 countries without a visa. From cheaper flights and transit options through other nations without requiring separate visas.

There are plenty of reasons why getting an American Visa might be worth considering!
