Italy stood out as the top destination for Bangladeshi nationals seeking Schengen visas, with a total of 39,729 applications submitted by Bangladeshis. Of these, 34% were aimed at securing a visa to Italy, underscoring its popularity among Bangladeshi travelers.
However, despite this high demand, Italy also has one of the lowest visa approval rates for Bangladeshi applicants. Statistics reveal that only 40% of applications were successful, making Italy a challenging destination for those seeking to obtain a Schengen visa.
Other popular European destinations for Bangladeshi nationals include Sweden, Germany, and France, where visa applications are also frequently filed. While Italy remains a favorite, its stringent visa approval process poses a significant hurdle for many Bangladeshi travelers.
