Bangladeshis in the UK: passport and ID photos

An example photo of a fictional person
Example: a fictional person

Bangladeshi e-passports are applied for online, then you go to the High Commission in London, where your photo, fingerprints, iris and signature are taken (Bangladesh High Commission, London: e-passport application). A child under six needs printed photos, and the No Visa Required (NVR) stamp for British passports needs one photo glued to its form.

Every photo you need, and who takes it

From each office's own website, checked October 2026. Lines marked Check are ones the office doesn't fully settle. Rules change, so confirm before you apply.

Get the No Visa Required stamp from the UK

  1. Fill in the online form on visa.gov.bd, skipping the payment and the photo upload, and print it. (Bangladesh High Commission, London: No Visa Required)
  2. Glue a passport-size photo to the form. The fee is £70. (Bangladesh High Commission, London: No Visa Required)
  3. Go in person by appointment (about 5 to 7 working days), or post it with your British or Irish passport, a £70 postal order and a prepaid Next Day recorded envelope (about 21 days). (Bangladesh High Commission, London: No Visa Required)

Tip: For a child's 3R photo, print at a photo lab: the High Commission asks for lab prints, and home prints fade.
