US Embassy Dhaka Warns Overstaying Visas Could Lead to Permanent Travel Ban
The United States Embassy in Dhaka issued a formal notice reminding travelers that overstaying permitted entry durations could result in a lifetime ban on entering the US.

The United States Embassy in Dhaka issued a public advisory on Saturday (September 26, 2026) warning that overstaying permitted entry durations or violating visa conditions in the United States could lead to permanent travel bans.

In a statement posted on its official Facebook page, the embassy emphasized that holding a US visa does not automatically guarantee entry into the country. The duration and terms of admission are determined by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the port of entry. The message explicitly cautioned that travelers who remain in the United States beyond their authorized period of stay or engage in unauthorized activities outside their visa classification risk permanent entry bans in the future. Reminding applicants that strict adherence to visa regulations is the sole responsibility of the traveler, the statement aligns with ongoing US Department of State initiatives to curb visa fraud and overstays.
