Smartraveller AU have reviewed our advice for Bangladesh and have lowered the overall travel advice level. We now advise reconsider your need to travel due to ongoing civil unrest, demonstrations and terrorism. The situation remains volatile, with an ongoing risk of protests and demonstrations across Bangladesh and a heightened risk of civil unrest and disorder.

The risk of terrorism in Bangladesh remains. There is also an increased risk of crime, including assault, arson and vandalism. Avoid large gatherings, including protests, demonstrations and rallies. These can turn violent without warning. Access to Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport may be restricted at short notice and flight and transport disruptions may occur.
