P1 private-investor visa

Entry in the private-investor category if the visa is issued; the visa recommendation alone gives no residence or employment permission.

Who qualifies

P1 is the visa category for foreign private investors in industrial and commercial enterprises; Invest Bangladesh processes its recommendation through the one-stop service.

A foreign private investor in a Bangladesh industrial or commercial enterprise can request an Invest Bangladesh P1 visa recommendation.

Every option that fits your family

Not legal advice.

What it takes.

Time: Invest Bangladesh states a 24-hour recommendation target for a complete online submission; consular processing is additional.
Cost: Company establishment, trade and tax registration and the consular visa fee are additional; the P1 category uses the approved enterprise rather than a universal investment floor.
The hard part: Establishing a qualifying enterprise and obtaining its investment registration and P1 recommendation.

Citizenship

Language: Adequate knowledge of Bengali.
Time away: Residence throughout the twelve months before filing plus at least four years in aggregate during the preceding seven years, with good character and intent to remain.
Two passports: It depends on the rules at the time and on your home country.

Actual lawful residence, not investment alone, contributes to Bangladesh’s naturalisation residence test.
How long the decision takes isn’t published; we allow a year.
Whether you can keep your current citizenship depends on the rules at the time and your home country.

The law behind these dates

Living there.

Time you must spend there: The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax: Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
