Italy Visa Application Centre Dhaka — Opening Hours
| Counter | Days | Time |
|---|---|---|

| Passport collection | Sunday – Thursday | 16:00 – 17:00 |

The submission window is the narrow one, so a late-morning arrival can cost you the day. Public holidays in Bangladesh and in Italy both close the counter, and those dates are announced separately — ring 09606 777666 the day before you travel to Dhaka for it.
Worth Knowing Before You Go
- Italian visas from Bangladesh can only be applied for at this centre — the Embassy of Italy does not take visa applications over its own counter.
- Translation and legalisation work is taken at the same centre, Sunday to Thursday 14:00 – 16:00 — a different window from the visa counter.
- The same operator runs two more offices outside Dhaka: World Trade Center Chittagong (5th floor), 102/103 Agrabad C/A, Commerce College Road, Chattogram 4100; and 4th Floor, Nirvana Inn Complex, Ramer Dighir Par, Mirzajungle Road, Sylhet 3100.
- The Embassy of Italy itself is at Bay's Edgewater – NE (N) 12 North Avenue, 3rd Floor, Gulshan 2, Dhaka 1212 — go there only for the services the embassy lists, not to submit a visa file.
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 Italian 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 Italy Schengen file before you go — cover letter, itinerary, confirmed air ticket booking, hotel bookings, bank statement and travel insurance, with the online 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.
