In person or by mail from Raleigh
The Embassy is 5 h 26 min from Raleigh by road, too far to reach its morning counter on the day you leave: book a night near Washington, D.C.
A same-day NVR at the Embassy has a short drop-off window early in the morning, which from Raleigh means arriving the day before.
The Embassy books the e-passport visit inside the national portal, epassport.gov.bd, and says it cannot book those slots itself, while an NVR is walk-in.
