A Bangladeshi man residing abroad has poignantly described the challenges he faces every time he travels—he says immigration officers often "flinch," uncertain whether to allow him entry or cancel his flight.

His experience mirrors broader trends: according to the 2025 Henley Passport Index, Bangladesh now ranks 100th globally, tied with Libya and Palestine, with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to only 40 countries—down from 42 last year .

In comparison, regional peers like India and Maldives hold stronger passports, offering access to more destinations . The limited mobility and frequent denials highlight the diplomatic and practical obstacles citizens face—even before disembarking.
