Risks, limitations, and uncertainty

Notes on changes, conflicts, and limits.

Present
Investment note (Sept 2026)Published
Sources conflict: the Bangladesh embassy FAQ (last updated 2022) gives US$100,000 for PR in one answer and US$75,000 in another; LegalSeba (2026) says the threshold is now US$200,000 and direct citizenship needs US$1m in industry or US$2m deposited. No current Home Ministry text found.
Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published
Investment is non-repatriable and must stay in Bangladesh to keep PR; profits and dividends can be sent abroad. Naturalization after 5 years of residence per LegalSeba. Stays over 90 days require registration with the immigration police.
