According to Bangladesh Bank Circular regarding Foreign exchange rule published on Date: April 06 , 2014 (ref: FE Circular No: Release of foreign exchange for private travel abroad)

Attention of the Authorized Dealers is invited to paragraph 1(ii), chapter 12 of the Guidelines for Foreign Exchange Transactions-2009, Vol-1 read with FE Circular No. 24, dated December 02, 2009 and FE Circular No. 09, dated August 27, 2012 regarding annual travel entitlement of resident Bangladesh nationals for private travel abroad.

It has been decided to enhance this global private travel entitlement to US$ 12,000 per adult passenger during a calendar year, with upto US$ 5,000 or equivalent for travel to SAARC member countries and Myanmar and upto US$ 7,000 or equivalent for travel to other countries. As before, for minors (below 12 years in age) the applicable quota will be half the amount admissible for adults.

This year Feb 11, 2015, a reversed circular published where it was mentioned that, USD 5000/- can be carried in Cash form. Rest the unused available amount can be carried by Credit Card/ Travel Cheque / other from.

Hope that will solve the purpose for our Brother/ sisters.

Thank u brother for ur clear elaboration. But its bit complicated in some key points. I will be very glad if u clear me the follows-

1. According to this, Can't i carry cash more than USD 5000/ if i interested to carry i.e: max limit USD 12,000/ ?
2. What is the logical and legal way to carry rest of the cash amount (over USD 5000) for one way or one time travel? Without credit card and travel chq what can be the other forms?
3. In this regard minors can carry max USD 6,000/ (half of 12000). Is it right?

dear Bhi,
1. In a calender year (Jan to Dec); you can carry equivalent USD 12,000 per trip or one trip . Cash Note as USD 5000 max. Rest equivalent USD 7000 in any other currency (but not BDT currency).
2. U can acquire Prepaid Card (such as EBL, SCB) or any other Notes (such as pound/ Euro). But remember, NON-SAARC max limit is USD 7000. and for SAARC is USD 5000. So, for carrying the rest USD 5000; you need to have a SAARC country VISA Stamp.
3. Yes. (below 12 years in age)

As i could not attachment the circulars. whoever needs the Bangladesh Bank circular, provide me the e-mail so that i may send the circular of Bangladesh Bank.

What i understood is:

1. A family (2 adults, 1 minor) with Canada PR visa can carry- 7,000x2(Adults)=14,000 USD + 3,500x1(Minor)=3500 USD (total 17,500 USD ~ 21,336 CAD). Am i right?

2. Out of each 7,000 USD for an adult, can carry cash upto 5,000 USD??

For those who paid RPRF with a DD, should the RPRF amount be subtracted from this dollar limit? I am saying this because SCB put a record on the last page of my passport (where dollar endorsement entries are placed) that I purchased a DD worth of CAD $980 from them. So, the BD immigration officer will know for sure that this year I spent $$ on something!

For me, the application processing fee was paid with a credit card by a friend in Canada. But even if it were a DD, it would not matter for me because it was paid last year, not this year.

Dear all,
You r all missing a important issue which is Travel Quota. I don't think SCB will endorse against TQ.

It's a different issue: what amounts you spend for immigration and how much against TQ

Yes, it will be in your annual Quote. You can't made foreign transaction without endorsement. Regarding those who paid application fee with DD, don't have
to worry about it, as it was last year and quote reset at January starting of the calender year. So those of us made DD for landing fee made it from
their annual quote of this year.

As per Bangladesh Bank Foreign Exchange Master Circular (2009) ; Immigration Fee is is totally separate issue from Travel Quota (TQ).

the Immigration Fee / RPRF will not effect in any way at TQ.
You may wait till Sunday for which I will provide the details section of specific para of that circular of Bangladesh bank
