The submission window is the narrow one, so a late-morning arrival can cost you the day. Public holidays in Bangladesh and in France both close the counter, and those dates are announced separately — ring 09666 911578 the day before you travel to Dhaka for it.
Worth Knowing Before You Go
- This centre is new — it opened on 17 September 2025. Before that, Bangladeshi applicants for a French visa were handled outside the country, so older guides on the internet still send people to the wrong place.
- Submission and passport collection run in the same window here, 08:30 to 16:00 — unlike most other centres in Dhaka, which close submission at midday.
- The visa section of the Embassy of France in Dhaka takes the decision. The centre only accepts the file and the biometrics.
What the Centre Does — and What It Does Not
- It accepts your completed application and supporting documents, takes the fee, and returns the passport.
- It does not decide your visa. That is for the French embassy to decide, and the centre cannot influence or speed it up.
- It does not fill your form or judge whether your documents are strong enough before you queue.
goFLY prepares and checks your France Schengen file before you go — cover letter, day-by-day itinerary, confirmed air ticket booking, hotel bookings, bank statement and travel insurance, with the France-Visas form filled correctly. Most refusals from Bangladesh come from a thin or inconsistent file, not from the counter. Bring us the file first — WhatsApp 01713-289175.
