Please review payment information on promissory notes (DS-5528) here.
Passengers should be prepared to travel on short notice and must have current valid U.S. passports. Passengers will need to find transportation to Dhaka.
If you arrived in Bangladesh within the last 14 days or are recovering from COVID, you should be in self quarantine; Immigration authorities will not permit you to board the aircraft if you have not completed the quarantine requirement.
