Israel Start-Up Nation Skilled Worker Residence — Innovation Authority; Tech Sector; 12–24 monthsfor 🇧🇩 Bangladeshi citizens travelling to 🇮🇱 Israel

🚫Travel to Israel is not currently permitted for Bangladeshi citizens

Bangladesh maintains a travel ban to Israel for its citizens and its passport again carries an "except Israel" endorsement (reinstated in 2025), so Bangladeshi passport holders cannot travel to Israel.

Bangladesh has no diplomatic relations with Israel. The "except Israel" clause was briefly removed from the e-passport in 2021 but the underlying travel ban stayed in force, and the interim government moved to reinstate the clause in 2024–2025. There is no ordinary visa route for Bangladeshi passport holders. Verify the current position with both governments before making any plans.

Because of this restriction, there is no Israel Start-Up Nation Skilled Worker Residence — Innovation Authority; Tech Sector; 12–24 months application process available for Bangladeshi passport holders. Entry rules and diplomatic relations can change — always confirm the current position with the official authorities of both countries before making any plans.
