Use of international cards for purchase of air tickets from airlines operating in Bangladesh

Resident Bangladeshi nationals with applicable visas may use international cards to purchase air tickets from airlines operating in Bangladesh for travel abroad. All ticket sale proceeds must be acquired through Authorized Dealer banks, and funds credited to airline foreign currency accounts must be encashed in Taka if the airline is locally owned. International cards issued under travel entitlement may be refilled up to the exact amount used for the ticket purchase, provided prior verification that payment was fully acquired through domestic channels. Authorized Dealers are required to maintain separate records for each refill and adhere to standard reporting routines.
