49 Countries you can visit with a Bangladeshi passport

• October 15, 2019

If you’re reading this, you’re probably a fellow Bangladeshi trying to figure out what countries you can visit without the hassles of having to obtain a Visa through an embassy/travel agency. I have found the Wikipedia page and other resources on this topic to be unreliable, often containing info that is either false or not well-referenced. If you were hoping to travel visa-free to Bolivia because of such sources, this suggest you’re in for bad news.

The GOOD NEWS is..

• I’ve been actively figuring this puzzle out myself for the last 8 years while sporadically traveling through 4 continents
• I’ve put together my notes in an attempt to create a more reliable and transparent resource (with verifiable references) that will hopefully make life easier for fellow Bangladeshis with the travel bug

In this post, I will first list all countries where you can get either a Visa on-arrival or an Electronic-visa yourself without having to deal with third parties. Next, I will list countries and territories that you can visit with a valid US, Canada or Schengen Visa (more on this later). Finally, I will include suggestions for visiting some of the places that I have had the chance to see over the years, and pitch in some trip-planning advice which I hope will be helpful.

Disclaimers:

• For a few countries, I didn’t entirely trust the sources I referenced, and I marked them with a double asterisk “**” next to their names. I strongly recommend doing extra research for these and using your best judgement.
• All countries will require you to have necessary documents/funds to prove your travel intentions, arranged accommodation and financial ability to sustain yourself during your travels. What exactly is required varies from country to country, but will be stated on the embassy websites. If you need clarifications on requirements, I suggest directly contacting the respective embassies. Please don’t show up to a foreign country without a return ticket, or without “ sufficient” travel funds, because you will probably get rejected at the entry-point . Or you won’t be even allowed to board your flight in the first place. This post is meant to serve as a solid starting point of research for your travel plans. But you will have to do the final work 🙂
• Visa policies can change over time . While I will try to keep this document as up-to-date as possible, a little lag-time for updates is expected. Please ensure you follow the links I am sharing to double-check the sources and make sure nothing has changed. The sources I linked are the best that I could find. If you find better ones, please share them in the comments and I will make the necessary edits to this post.
• While I have done thorough research to put this together, this may not be a comprehensive list . If you have been to a country without a visa with a regular Bangladeshi passport and you don’t see it on the list, please let me know, and if possible, please leave a link to sources verifying your correction.

Now for the fun part. Here are the lists!

Countries that offer you on-arrival visas, asia + oceania.

• Timor-Leste
• Vanuatu**- Couldn’t find confirmation from a govt. website, but these sources [1] [2] [3] seem to suggest Bangladeshis can get a Visa on-arrival

• Jamaica – (Visa country listing for Jamaica)
• Bahamas – (Visa requirements)
• Grenada – (Visa requirements)
• Saint Kitts and Nevis
• St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• Barbados – scroll to the bottom of page and enter nationality to double-check
• Trinidad and Tobago* * – Couldn’t find govt website confirming/denying visa requirements for Bangladeshis, but third party organizations like this one state we can get visa on-arrival.
• Rwanda -read up on the East Africa Tourist visa (allows collective access to Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda)
• Uganda -read up on East Africa Tourist visa (allows collective access to Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda), and pay attention to immunization requirements
• Gambia- sources: Gambian Tourism Board and Banjul Airport
• Comoros – All travelers to Comoros are given a free, 24-hour transit visa upon entry. The following day, visitors are required to go to the immigration office in Moroni to change their visa status. A fee is charged, depending on length of stay.
• Madagascar **- couldn’t verify if this is indeed an official govt. website
• Mozambique **- No govt. website confirmation , but multiple threads/sources suggest visa-on-arrival offered to all citizens of all nationalities
• Guinea-Bissau **-website states it’s possible to obtain an e-visa, but the e-visa application link is down

Countries you can visit with Electronic /Online Visas (prior application required)

For  questions regarding E-VISA(s)  and to check what you need for different countries and if you want a professional third party to verify the information, I have found the  Ivisa website  (affiliate link) to be a helpful resource. Note: Pay attention to how long before your arrival date you have to apply online, as these periods vary for different countries

• Ivory Coast** – source: Abidjan Airport website  
• Zambia [1] [2]
• Zimbabwe [1] [2]
• São Tomé and Príncipe
• Antigua and Barbuda
• Malaysia – read fine print: “in the event of suspicion, applicants may be required to supply further documents or be called for an interview or skype session with Malaysia Consulate” Special mention: Indonesia used to offer both on-arrival and e-visas to Bangldeshis but both are currently on hold 🙁

Countries/territories you can visit with a valid US/Canada/Schengen/EU nation Visa

A little-known secret to international travel as a Bangladeshi is that a lot of the countries that usually require us to obtain a visa through their embassy loosen that restriction if we have a valid Visa from another developed country. I have personally made the most out of this caveat over the years, and have visited around a dozen countries outside the US and the Schengen zone using multiple-entry US and Schengen Visas. Next, I will enlist what countries you can visit via this approach and what visas you need to be able to visit them. Pay special attention to what countries require a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa as opposed to a Single-Entry one.

• Mexico- valid Canada, Japan, the USA, the UK or Schengen visa
• Costa Rica- permanent residence , a student visa, a work visa in the USA , Canada, and members of the EU
• Panama- valid Visa or Residence issued by Canada, USA , Australia, the Republic of Korea, Japan, the UK , Republic of Singapore and any EU state
• Belize- READ THIS : While it seems that you can enter Belize with a valid multiple-entry US, Canada or Schengen visa , there are potentially major hidden costs involved. These sources [1] [2] suggest that Bangladeshis have to pay $250 USD ($500 BZD) for a single entry visa and an additional $600 USD ($ 1200 BZD) in “Repatriation fees” at the point of entry. When I called the consulate in Los Angeles, the lady who answered said these fees have been removed. However, I was never able to get any confirmation in writing or email, and further research into the laws didn’t return any favorable results. Which is why I still haven’t visited Belize.
• Dominican Republic- Any person who can legally travel or reside in the USA , Canada and the EU
• Aruba- valid multiple-entry Schengen visa
• Sint Marteen- valid multiple-entry Schengen visa
• Antigua and Barbuda- valid US/Canadian/EU/Schengen/UK Visa or UK Indefinite Leave to Remain
• United Kingdom- This one may be a little surprising, but you are allowed a 24 hour transit in the UK without a UK visa if (among other requirements) you’re travelling to (or on part of a reasonable journey to) Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA and have a valid visa for that country . Please check the other requirements.
• Albania- valid, multiple-entry Schengen, US or UK visa, which has been previously used in the respective country of issuance
• Bosnia and Herzegovina- valid multiple-entry visa or residence permit issued by the Schengen Agreement country, EU Member States or USA
• Montenegro-  valid visa from Schengen area, USA, UK, Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland, or a permission to stay in these countries
• Serbia- valid Schengen, UK or US visa, and for holders of foreign passports having residence permit in the countries of the Schengen area, EU or USA
• Kosovo- valid multiple -entry Schengen visa
• Macedonia- valid British, Canadian, USA or multiple-entry Schengen visa
• Croatia- valid multiple-entry Schengen documents/national visas and residence permits of Bulgaria/Cyprus/ Romania
• Romania- valid multiple-entry Schengen documents
• Bulgaria- valid multiple-entry  Schengen visa
• Cyprus- valid multiple-entry Bulgarian, Croatian, Romanian or Schengen Visa
• Georgia- valid visa from USA, UK, Australia, Schengen area or a long list of nations (see list here)
• Turkey- valid Schengen/USA/UK/ Ireland visa or residence permit may let you get single entry e-Visas valid for one month via the website www.evisa.gov.tr
• Qatar- valid residence permit or visit visa to either Schengen countries, Australia, Canada, UK, USA or New Zealand, can obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) free of
• Madagascar- applicants residing in the U.S.A, regardless of the nationality
• São Tomé and Príncipe- US, Canada or Schengen visa charge* by completing an online application prior to travelling
• Malaysia- 120 hour transit without visa available for those traveling to and from these 7 countries with the appropriate visa(s) ( see full list of eligibility criteria )
• Turkey- valid UK, US, Schengen or Ireland visa

Territories

• Bermuda (British Territory)- multiple entry Canada/USA visa
• British Virgin Islands (British Territory)- valid UK, USA or Canada visa
• Turks and Caicos (British Territory)- valid UK, USA or Canada visa

China’s 24-hour Visa-free transit rule (visa free country #49)

This one didn’t really fit anywhere else so putting it in its own section. Bangladeshi travelers transiting through China to reach another country of destination may be eligible for a 24 hour Transit Visa Exemption. This visa exemption is available to all foreigners, and most ports of entry in China . I didn’t even know about this rule till I ended up in China for a long layover in 2016, and wandered out of the airport in Kunming dumbfounded by how I went past Chinese immigration without a Visa. For my next 2 layovers in China, I planned in advance. I hired a tour-guide to show me around the island of Xiamen the first time, and ventured out to go solo-exploring during the second one.

Trip-planning advice

We are done with listing places you can visit . In this section, I will offer some insights into planning your trips, and suggest a few travel itineraries based on my own travel experiences that I think others can learn from from.

Finding cheap flights

It took me a while to nail this down the exact methodology that I use now to find the cheapest flights. I use a combination of Google flights and Skyscanner . Google flights is the best website/app (in my humble opinion) for figuring out where you can fly for cheap when you have open-ended travel plans. The map/explore feature which allows you to look at flight prices to anywhere after picking a departure point is amazing. Google also tells you if the flight prices to a location at the moment are cheap/expensive relative to how much they usually cost.

Now, for the second part. Once you have a rough idea of where you want to go based on flight prices, I recommend switching to Skyscanner and checking the deals for flights there on the same dates. Usually, the flights on Skyscanner are cheaper than Google Flights for some reason. But Skyscanner’s open-ended map exploration feature doesn’t work as well as Google’s does, which is why I recommend switching to this once you have narrowed down your destination.

But what if my plans are not open-ended and there is a specific place I want to go?

No worries! These apps should have you covered as well. With both apps, you can choose to get notified when flight prices to your dream destinations change. I use this feature all the time , and have utilized unbelievable deals such as $140 Round-trip from Los Angeles-Panama City and $185 one-way flight from Sweden to Los Angeles.

Suggested Trip 1 (traveling from Bangladesh): Indonesia

Note: Indonesia used to offer both on-arrival and e-visas to Bangldeshis but both are currently on hold since Covid started. Hopefully this is temporary, and will be sorted soon 🙁

Indonesia is hands down one of my two favorite countries to visit along with Mexico. I had the chance to spend 2 weeks traveling around it in 2017. After visiting Flores and going from Bali to Jakarta by road, I still left the country feeling I had only scratched the surface of the paradise with its 14,000+ islands and multiple biospheres. Not only can you visit Indonesia for a month with a free on-arrival visa (you can pay for a 2 month on-arrival visa), you can also travel around most of the country on a tight budget of $30/day if you are backpacking like me. The cheapest accommodation I used was a $6/night hostel in Jogjakarta. I found Indonesia to be much cheaper than Thailand, which is where most Bangladeshi tourists seem to flock to. I found most of Indonesia outside of Bali to be cheaper as well.

Here are 3 things to do on your next trip to Indonesia :

• Go Volcano hiking in Eastern Java . Hiking up both Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen are breathtaking experiences (metaphorically more so than literally 😉 )
• Go to the Sumatran jungle and see some wildlife . Orangutans are one of the main reasons I am planning on returning to Indonesia next year.
• Go to Flores and enjoy the tranquil views at Labuan Bajo and see the sun set by hundreds of little islands (a video preview with travel tips at the end for those interested)

Suggested Trip 2 (for US/Canada residents): Mexico

A lot of people studying/working in the US and Canada are not aware that having a valid multiple-entry visa to either country allows you unlimited travel into several countries in Central America. Mexico arguably has the most to offer out of all of them. Even I wasn’t aware of this exemption during my first 4 years in the US, but since then, I have done around a dozen trips to Mexico and have no plans of stopping. From surf-waves on the western end of Baja California, to Aztec ruins buried under Mexico City, to Mayan Pyramids and underground swim-holes in Yucatan, Mexico has no shortage of amazing experiences. Not to forget, the street-side food is one of the best I have ever tasted in my life (and very accommodating for those of us used to a Bangladeshi diet). I usually eat chicken tacos 3 times a day when in Mexico. And on top of it all, it’s filthy cheap ! Budget travel costs in Mexico are estimated to range roughly around $25-40 a day. Here’s my first vlog that I made 3 years ago during a 3-day trip to Mexico, and everything you see me doing in this video (including entrance fees) cost less than $40 combined .

My recommendations for 3 things to do in Mexico :

• Go see the pyramids of Teotihuacan near Mexico city. They are bigger and much older than the Mayan ones in Yucatan, and I thought they were cooler than Chichen Itza. If you can afford it, I highly recommend going on a sunrise hot-air balloon ride over them . Here’s a short video I made from when I had the chance to do it.
• Go swim in the Cenotes of Yucatan. Under-ground swimming caves with crystal-clear pools are just as cool as they sound. Skip to 2:20 of this video for a glimpse.
• Go swimming with a sea-lion colony in Baja California . You can play with wild sea-lion pups in the water next to an island. I have a video on that somewhere on my YouTube channel too, but I will stop spamming you with self-promotion here.

* I am aware that most Dhakaias (myself included) probably never learned to swim growing up. But I promise there’s a lot more to Mexico than just the swimming activities I mentioned

Suggested Trip 3 (for holders of Schengen Visa/documents): The Balkans

I have spent more than a year traveling all across Europe (more on that in this article if interested), and some of my best experiences were in the Balkans (Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, North Macedonia and Albania). As long as you avoid the coastal towns where cruise ships come in, the prices are cheaper than almost all of Europe, and significantly cheaper than Western Europe. I have friends that were camping out during the summer, and getting by while spending less than 15 euros/day. My favorite part is that the beautiful locations (apart from the aforementioned coastal hot-spots) are far from being crowded with tourists, and are very serene. Relative to Western Europe, the Balkans attract more chill travelers who like to take things easy, and I have formed incredible friendships with other solo-travelers during my 2 months in the Balkans. There are a lot of historical spots as well throughout the Balkans, where major region-defining events unfolded up until the late 90s. Any talk about the Balkans would be incomplete without mentioning how good their food (read Burek) is. A very filling burger/pljeskavica in Serbia will cost around l-2 Euros if you get it at the right spot, and Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina is even cheaper. If you have dietary restrictions, do note that the food isn’t usually vegan-friendly.

Recommendations on 3 things to do in the Balkans :

• Take a free walking tour on the Bosnian civil war in Sarajevo . This was one of the more moving places I have been to. My tour-guide was another young man who had lived through the violence of the civil war himself as the city was under siege
• Go see the medieval coastal towns of Croatia and Montenegro . For all you Game of Thrones fans, Dubrovnik is where they filmed all scenes from King’s Landing.
• Go to Slovenia. It’s the most underrated country in Europe in my opinion, with amazing views, amazing architecture and amazing people. I became fascinated with it after the first time I went there. After returning home to Los Angeles, I got together with a Slovenian friend to make a 50-minute instructional video of how to visit Slovenia , and of course, went back this summer.

* I realize that the Balkans technically include Greece, Bulgaria and Romania (may be the last one’s debatable), but I am choosing to focus on former Yugoslavia countries and Albania. I should add that Romania is pretty amazing too.

Final words

If you have any questions about anything I said, the quickest way to get a response would be to comment here instead of sending a private message. If you notice any mistakes in the info I provided, or if I am missing something, I would be very appreciative if you guided me to the right sources to correct them.

Indonesian Visa for Bangladeshi

insidedhaka

Updated on: November 12, 2023

Indonesia is a popular destination for Bangladeshi tourists who want to enjoy its natural beauty, cultural diversity, and historical attractions. However, before planning a trip to Indonesia, Bangladeshi citizens need to know the visa requirements and procedures.

Do Bangladeshi citizens need a visa to visit Indonesia?

What are the benefits of visiting indonesia for bangladeshi citizens, what are the popular tourist destinations in indonesia, komodo national park:, raja ampat islands:.

The answer is no, Bangladeshi citizens do not need a visa to visit Indonesia as tourists for up to 30 days. They can enter Indonesia visa-free under the Visa Exemption scheme. However, they need to meet the following conditions:

• They must have a valid Bangladesh passport with at least six months of remaining validity and two blank pages.
• They must have a confirmed round-trip ticket or onward ticket to another country.
• They must have sufficient funds to cover their expenses during their stay in Indonesia.
• They must not engage in any paid or unpaid work, study, or journalism activities in Indonesia.
• They must comply with the Indonesian laws and regulations and respect the local customs and culture.

If Bangladeshi citizens want to stay longer than 30 days, or visit Indonesia for other purposes such as business, education, social, or cultural, they need to apply for a visa at the Indonesian Embassy in Dhaka. The visa application process may vary depending on the type and duration of the visa, but generally, they need to submit the following documents:

• A completed and signed visa application form.
• A passport-sized photo with a white background.
• A copy of the Bangladesh passport and the original for verification.
• A copy of the round-trip ticket or onward ticket.
• A bank statement showing sufficient funds for the trip.
• A letter of invitation or sponsorship from an Indonesian individual or organization, if applicable.
• A letter of recommendation from the employer or institution in Bangladesh, if applicable.
• A payment of the visa fee, which may vary depending on the type and duration of the visa.

The visa processing time may take up to seven working days, and the visa validity may range from 90 days to one year, depending on the type and duration of the visa. Bangladeshi citizens are advised to apply for the visa well in advance of their intended travel date, and to check the latest visa information and requirements from the Indonesian Embassy in Dhaka.

Indonesia is a diverse and fascinating country that offers many benefits for Bangladeshi tourists, such as:

• Indonesia has a rich and diverse culture, with more than 300 ethnic groups and 700 languages. Bangladeshi tourists can experience the different traditions, arts, cuisines, and religions of Indonesia, and learn about its history and heritage.
• Indonesia has a stunning natural beauty, with more than 17,000 islands, 127 volcanoes, and 80,000 kilometers of coastline. Bangladeshi tourists can enjoy the scenic landscapes, tropical forests, wildlife, beaches, and coral reefs of Indonesia, and engage in various outdoor activities such as hiking, diving, surfing, and rafting.
• Indonesia has a friendly and hospitable people, with a common bond of Islam. Bangladeshi tourists can feel welcomed and comfortable in Indonesia, as they share the same faith and values with the majority of Indonesians. They can also visit the many mosques, Islamic schools, and religious sites in Indonesia, and participate in the Islamic festivals and celebrations.
• Indonesia has a affordable and convenient travel, with a favorable exchange rate and a well-developed transportation system. Bangladeshi tourists can travel to Indonesia with a low budget, as the cost of living, accommodation, food, and transportation are relatively cheap in Indonesia. They can also easily access the different regions and attractions of Indonesia, as there are many domestic and international flights, trains, buses, and ferries available.

Indonesia is a vast and diverse country that offers many attractions for tourists of different interests and preferences. Some of the most popular tourist destinations in Indonesia are:

Bali is arguably the most famous and visited island in Indonesia, known for its beautiful beaches, rich culture, and stunning natural scenery. Bali has something for everyone, whether you want to relax on the sand, surf the waves, explore the temples, or enjoy the nightlife. Some of the top attractions in Bali are the beaches of Kuta, Nusa Dua, and Sanur, the Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud, the Pura Tanah Lot temple, and the Jatiluwih rice fields.

Borobudur is an ancient Buddhist temple complex that is one of the most impressive and culturally significant landmarks in Indonesia. Borobudur was built in the 8th century and consists of nine stacked platforms adorned with hundreds of statues and thousands of relief panels. Borobudur is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a popular pilgrimage destination for Buddhists. The best time to visit Borobudur is at sunrise, when you can witness the temple illuminated by the golden light.

Komodo National Park is a unique and adventurous destination that is home to the world’s largest lizard, the Komodo dragon. These fearsome creatures can grow up to three meters long and weigh up to 70 kilograms. They can only be found in this park and a few nearby islands. Komodo National Park is also a great place for diving and snorkeling, as it has a rich marine biodiversity and coral reefs. You can also visit the Pink Beach, which has a distinctive pink hue due to the crushed red coral in the sand.

Raja Ampat Islands are a group of four main islands and thousands of smaller ones that are located in the northwestern tip of Papua. Raja Ampat is one of the most sensational diving destinations in Indonesia, as it has more than 75% of all known coral species and a huge variety of fish and other marine life. Raja Ampat is also a paradise for birdwatchers, as it has many endemic and rare species of birds, such as the Wilson’s bird of paradise and the red bird of paradise.

In conclusion, Indonesia is a great destination for Bangladeshi tourists who want to explore a different and exciting country, without the hassle of applying for a visa. However, they need to be aware of the visa-free conditions and limitations, and the visa application procedures and requirements, if they want to extend their stay or visit Indonesia for other purposes.

Bangladesh-Indonesia Navigate Toward Common Goals

The endorsement of a preferential trade pact between Indonesia and Bangladesh holds the promise of significantly influencing the economies of both countries as well as fostering greater integration within the regional economy. This accord may play a role in cultivating stronger economic bonds between South and Southeast Asia and could serve as a gateway for Bangladesh to evolve into a prominent regional trading hub.

In 1971, Bangladesh and Indonesia established diplomatic ties. While Indonesia stands as the largest Muslim country globally, Bangladesh ranks as the fourth largest. These two nations collaborate as partners within the United Nations and several multilateral organizations, notably in international peacekeeping, the Developing 8 Countries, the Non-Aligned Movement, the World Trade Organization, Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Developing 8 (D-8), Group of 77 (G77), and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF).

While Bangladesh has its embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia has established its embassy in Dhaka. The year 1972 saw the establishment of official diplomatic relations, as Indonesia became one of the first Muslim countries to recognize the independent state of Bangladesh formally.

Indonesia’s trade impact on bangladesh.

June 21, 2022, marked the 50 years of diplomatic ties between Indonesia and Bangladesh. In terms of bilateral collaboration, Indonesia and Bangladesh have made significant strides. Throughout the years, these two nations have achieved numerous milestones in their relationship, marked by visits from their respective leaders.

Based on statistics released by the Bangladesh Bank, imports originating from Indonesia to Bangladesh totaled approximately $2.92 billion for the fiscal year 2021–22. Indonesia primarily shipped Palm Oil ($1.36 billion), Coal Briquettes ($432 million), and Cement ($166 million) as its critical exports to Bangladesh. Over the past 26 years, Indonesian exports to Bangladesh have surged consistently at an average annual growth rate of 13%, escalating from $123 million in 1995 to $2.92 billion in 2021.

PT Industri Kereta Api (PT INKA), the Indonesian state-owned train manufacturer, has successfully shipped 450 passenger trains to Bangladesh in the years 2006, 2015, and 2017. The cumulative value of these transactions has exceeded US$190 million. Additionally, during the period from 2019 to 2021, CV. Laksana, an Indonesian bus assembly company, has supplied Bangladesh with 43 luxury buses and 10 double-decker buses, amounting to a total transaction value exceeding US$808 thousand. Notably, the Bangladesh army has made its inaugural procurement of 50 Tear Gas Launchers and corresponding ammunition from Indonesia’s Defense Industry ( PT. PINDAD ), resulting in a total transaction value of US$66.583.

Annually, a significant number of individuals from Bangladesh journey to Indonesia. Indeed, Bangladeshi tourists constitute a substantial market for Indonesia’s tourism sector. Upon arrival, Bangladeshi passport holders have the option to obtain on-arrival visas for their travels to Indonesia. The previous maximum stay of 30 days has been expanded to 60 days for travel visas and 180 days for business visas.

Additionally, numerous Bangladeshi workers seek employment opportunities in Indonesia. The Indonesian government is contemplating the introduction of a ‘digital nomad visa,’ designed to allow remote workers to reside in the country without tax obligations for a duration of up to five years, on the condition that their income is sourced from overseas.

Bangladesh’s Exports to Indonesia

The Indonesian market has witnessed the strong competitive edge of Bangladeshi textile products. Over the span of a decade, imports of garments from Bangladesh to Indonesia have surged by an impressive 194 percent, soaring from $25.6 million in 2013 to a substantial $75.2 million in 2022. These imports now comprise a significant 68 percent of the overall garment imports, and this growth is all the more remarkable given the comparatively high tariffs of 20-25 percent that these products face.

Besides clothing, the pharmaceutical sector in Bangladesh has shown significant advancements recently. Medications manufactured within Bangladesh are gradually gaining traction in both the European and American markets. With their superior quality and cost-effectiveness compared to medications manufactured in Europe and America, Bangladesh has established a firm foothold in the Indonesian market. Bangladesh has supplied medicines and vaccines to Indonesia during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Future Business Opportunities

On 18 July 2022, a bilateral meeting took place in Jakarta between Bangladesh and Indonesia. The discussions were led by Dr. A. K. Abdul Momen, the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh, and Retno L. P. Marsudi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia. They shared a hopeful perspective on the imminent finalization of the pending MoUs.

Dr. Momen appealed to the Indonesian representatives to give thoughtful consideration to Bangladesh’s plea for incorporating RMG items into the PTA, aiming to tackle the significant trade imbalance.

Minister of Commerce Tipu Munshi expressed that Bangladesh and Indonesia are likely to finalize a PTA or preferential trade agreement by 2023. During a formal visit to the ministry offices at the Secretariat, Indonesian Ambassador Heru Hartanto Subolo echoed the commerce minister’s positive sentiment about the trade agreement and underlined the headway accomplished in this region. To facilitate this agreement, the two countries have formed a ‘Trade Negotiations Committee’.

A notable consequence of the PTA’s decisions is the elimination or reduction of tariffs on specific commodities traded between Bangladesh and Indonesia. This is likely to simplify and make trading between the two countries more cost-effective, with the potential to boost bilateral trade.

Furthermore, the PTA could serve as a catalyst for increased collaboration between South Asia and Southeast Asia with respect to challenges like connectivity and the development of infrastructure. For instance, the pact could stimulate funding directed towards enhancing transportation facilities, such as ports, railways, and highways, subsequently bolstering the flow of trade and investments between the two regions.

Ultimately, the PTA’s engagement might foster Bangladesh’s transformation into a significant hub for regional trade. It might help Bangladesh draw foreign capital as well.

Indonesia and Bangladesh are increasingly enhancing their defense collaboration. Furthermore, Indonesia has expressed its apprehensions regarding the repatriation of Rohingya refugees.

Considering its low sulfur and waste content, coal from Indonesia stands as a prime choice.  Opting for this coal could prove advantageous for Bangladesh, addressing its coal scarcity and making a positive impact on environmental preservation.

As both Bangladesh and Indonesia consider broadening their import, export, and trade alliances, the economic benefits are likely to contribute to a more robust and enduring friendship between the two countries. Expectations are high that in the upcoming days, the socio-economic development of the two countries will experience a positive transformation.

10 of the best foods and drinks to try in Indonesia

Apr 29, 2024 • 6 min read

Sample the best flavors of Indonesia with this guide to dishes and drinks © Nora Carol Photography / Getty Images

The traditional foods of Indonesia never quite get the credit they deserve. Thousands of islands spread across three time zones ensure a culinary diversity like no other nation.

The country’s signature dishes, from fried rice, noodles and satay, are all very accessible and simple to make. Still, Indonesia’s culinary heritage comprises many rich and complex flavors, such as the famed rendang  (beef coconut curry).

Rice and spicy sambal chili paste are mainstays of the cuisine and, with the prevalence of vegetables, soybean and tofu, vegetarians won’t go hungry. Home to the famed Spice Islands, Indonesia has influenced the cuisines of many lands but has also in turn embraced elements of Chinese and Dutch food heritage. While there is no shortage of high-end eateries, the most rewarding experiences will almost certainly be found in the teeming night food markets.

Here's our guide to the best things to to eat and drink in Indonesia.

Start your culinary journey with nasi goreng street food

Any guide to Indonesian food will almost certainly start with Indonesia’s answer to the humble fried rice dish. Nasi goreng ayam (fried chicken rice) is a staple but expect all manner of regional nuances. The classic version is fried in sweet soy sauce, chili and other subtle spices with a large prawn cracker and a fried egg on top. The mie goreng (fried noodles) variant is just as ubiquitous across Indonesia. These are cheap street eats for less than $2.

Where to try it:  Egoiste Beach Restaurant , Gili Trawangan

Go nuts for sate

Sate (or satay) is another cheap street food that has transcended its humble origins. It’s virtually a mainstay of Asian restaurants the world over. This crowd-pleasing street snack consists of small chunks of skewered chicken grilled over a charcoal fire. Sate 's   secret weapon is the thick, dark peanut paste with a sweet, tangy flavor. As well as chicken, street vendors serve up sate goat, beef and seafood. It is reputedly one of ex-US President Barack Obama’s childhood favorites.

Where to try it: Sate Khas Senayan ,  Jakarta

Babi guling is a Bali culinary institution

Unique for the world’s largest Muslim nation, babi guling (spit-roast pig) is a characteristic Bali creation. It is stuffed with garlic, lemongrass, shallots and chili before hours of slow roasting on the spit. Aside from specialist babi guling vendors, you’ll likely need to preorder this a day before. You get a big chunk of succulent meat with turmeric-marinated dark crispy skin alongside steamed rice, vegetables and spicy sambal chili paste.

Where to try it:   Ibu Oka  or  Warung Nia Seminyak ,  Ubud , Bali

Sample rendang , a feast for the senses

Simmered in coconut milk and exotic spices, rendang (beef coconut curry) is perhaps the crown jewel of Indonesian cuisine. It is slow cooked until the liquid reduces into a thick, dark paste. It elicits a rich, almost sate -like texture but with a very unique mix of powerful flavors. There is a distinct art to cooking it. The "dry rendang " way actually preserves the meat and can be eaten up to a month later. Rendang is perhaps the one Indonesian dish that has gained a truly global following, ranging from a $3 dish in a backstreet Jakarta cafe to an ultra-expensive Wagyu rendang in a high-end New York restaurant.

Where to try it: Kemangi ,  Kuta , Lombok

Get spicy with fiery food from Padang

Padang in Sumatra is Indonesia’s most celebrated culinary region. The famed rendang is a Padang creation. This regional concept is infamous for its fiery hot chili infused gulai (curry). There are many unique facets to Padang food, not least how it is served. Choose a specific dish or wait staff will stack the table with a dozen or more small plates without prompting. As long as you keep eating, more food keeps arriving and diners simply pay for what they eat. The sheer variety is mind-boggling, including a huge variety of vegetarian dishes. Spicy Padang treats include dendeng balado (beef jerky), chili crabs and gulai itik (duck curry).

Where to try it:   Natrabu ,  Sanur , Bali

Taste lots of Indonesian dishes with a rijstaffel banquet

A typical visit to Indonesia will barely scratch the surface of the archipelago’s culinary scope – unless you use the rijstaffel cheat code. This is an accelerated way to find out exactly what foods Indonesia is known for. Translated from colonial Dutch as "rice table," this is a mind-boggling array of up to 40 small dishes served buffet style. A huge mound of yellow rice arrives at the table surrounded by small bowls of noodles, curries, seafood and savories like spring rolls. Typical rijstaffel components include gado-gado (vegetables in spicy peanut sauce), clear chicken soup, crispy duck, and perkedel (fritters).

Where to try it: Dapur Raja,  Ubud, Bali

There are virtually unlimited options for vegetarians

Due to cost and limited availability of meat in some regions, virtually all of Indonesia’s signature dishes have some established vegetarian variation, from fried rice and noodles to sate . Tofu and soybean are the backbone of many dishes, while spicy Padang cuisine boasts dozens of popular vegetarian dishes. Furthermore, there are specialist vegetarian cafes and restaurants in most cities and major tourist areas.

Dive into the stinky durian

The infamous durian invokes both fear and curiosity. Dubbed the “king of fruits," it is notorious for its hellish smell but compensates with a heavenly taste. This may not be on most people’s wish lists of what to eat in Indonesia but it most certainly should be. It’s an exotic delicacy with a yellow-brown spiky outer skin. The fruit has a thick meat-like consistency emitting that overpowering smell.

The late Anthony Bourdain described it best: "Your breath will smell as if you'd been French kissing your dead grandmother." Perhaps overdramatic but the odor is extremely pungent. When eaten it elicits very conflicting senses between the unique taste and that overbearing stink. It’s possible to ease yourself slowly into the durian experience with a tub of refreshing durian ice cream.

Where to try it: Rimba Durian café , Jakarta

Down a shot of Bali firewater arak

Bali’s famed hard liquor is arak , a traditional, clear liquor sold in bars and consumed at community celebrations. The alcohol content is high at 40%, with double distilled arak at 60%. It takes its name from the sap of the palm tree which is then fermented and distilled. Interestingly, it’s the first alcoholic drink recognized for cultural significance in Muslim majority Indonesia. In fact, there is an annual Arak Bali Day celebrated every January.

A word of warning: black market arak is the biggest source of methanol poisoning in Indonesia. There have been some cases of tourists dying after drinking tainted home-made arak . Stick to branded arak  sold in bars and politely decline an invitation to sample any home-made hooch.

Where to try it:  Potato Head Beach Club ,  Seminyak , Bali

Sip a cendol sweet dessert drink

Cendol is best described as a sugary fruit medley in liquid form. This is one of Indonesia’s multicolored coconut milk concoctions with a strange combination of fruits and confectionery. It all looks very random but it’s a visual treat and tastes delicious. It comprises coconut milk, palm sugar syrup, shaved iced, and small green jellies made from rice flour. Depending on the region, various fresh fruits are added including pineapple, jackfruit and even the infamous durian. It's a cool and refreshing alternative to a post-dinner dessert.

Where to try it:  Dewi Sri Food Center , Kuta, Bali
