Consulate General of Bangladesh in New York

Checked against the official pages on 22 October 2026. How we check.

The Consulate General of Bangladesh in New York covers eight states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine (source).

It keeps two websites: the Ministry’s page, nycg.mofa.gov.bd, which the Embassy links, and its own, bdcgny.org, which carries the address, the phone numbers, the fees and the appointment form.

How to book an appointment at the Bangladesh Consulate General in New York

Its own website links an online form for an appointment token (source) and a second one for a mail token. The e-passport page asks you to make an appointment and to bring the printed summary of your online application with the appointment details on it (source).

New York’s pages disagree on how you pay at the counter. A notice from the Ministry’s site, in force from 1 October 2026, says fees paid in person are taken only by debit or credit card, with money orders kept for mail and the consular camps.

On bdcgny.org, the English text of the power-of-attorney page and the checklist of the e-passport page still ask for a money order or a certified check. (sources: 1 in Bengali, 2, 3)

By mail and at the consulate’s camps, fees go by money order to the Consulate General of Bangladesh in New York.

How to cancel an appointment at the Bangladesh Consulate General in New York

The consulate publishes no way to cancel a token. If you cannot come, call the main line or write to [email protected] before the day; the e-passport slot, if you booked it in the portal, is changed in your epassport.gov.bd account.

Getting to the Bangladesh Consulate General in New York

The office is on the second floor of 31-10 37th Avenue, in Long Island City. By subway, the consulate’s directions page says: “Take M & R train to 36 th Street” (source).

The consulate moved to 37th Avenue on 1 October 2024, but its “Direction” page still gives driving directions to Northern Blvd, the old address. Google Maps also keeps two listings in Manhattan, at 211 East 43rd Street and 131 West 33rd Street, with the consulate’s phone number. (sources: 1, 2)

Real reviews of the Bangladesh Consulate General in New York

The consulate’s Google listing averages 3.2 stars from 1,289 reviews. Since the move to Long Island City, most recent reviews describe a quick NVR and a friendly counter; the older ones, and some recent ones, describe long waits and rude staff.

Tawhid K.

Google said the office was open until 5:30, so she arrived at 1:40 in the afternoon after a long trip, and nothing was accepted because the cut-off for papers is 1:00. She asks the consulate to publish that time where people look (September 2025).

What the Bangladesh Consulate General in New York handles

The paperwork the Bangladesh Consulate General in New York publishes, and the steps that happen elsewhere:

For its eight states: the e-passport, the NVR, visas, the travel permit, voter registration and the NID card, birth and death registration, the attestation of powers of attorney and of Bangladeshi and U.S. documents, the alive certificate for pensioners and the surrender of a Bangladeshi passport.

On its own menu of services (source):

What is done elsewhere:

A selection of the fees on its own pages:

The passport guide has the full e-passport table, including the reduced fee for workers and students, and the requirements page sets the four offices side by side.

New York’s own website still says that every state outside its eight and Los Angeles’s eight is served by the Embassy in Washington, and does not mention Miami.

The Embassy’s list of districts and the Miami consulate’s own pages give Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee and South Carolina to Miami. (sources: 1, 2, 3)

New York’s own website still asks you to mail a dual nationality application to the consulate with a money order for US$ 92.40.

The Ministry’s page for the same consulate (updated in October 2026), the Embassy and Los Angeles send you to the online application of the Security Services Division instead, paid by card. (sources: 1, 2, 3)

The travel permit is not priced the same everywhere. The Embassy and Los Angeles charge $14.30 for regular delivery in five business days and $27.50 for next-day delivery; New York’s Ministry page gives a single fee of $27.50, payable by card, and lists no cheaper regular rate. (sources: 1, 2, 3)
