Asset Valuation for Visa in Bangladesh: A Complete Guide

If you’re a Bangladeshi student planning to study abroad or a tourist applying for a visa to countries like the USA, Canada, or those in Europe, you’ve probably heard about asset valuation for visa. It’s one of the key documents embassies and universities look at before deciding whether to grant your visa.

Let’s break it down so you know exactly what it is, when you need it, and how to get it done the right way.

What Is an Asset Valuation for Visa?

In simple terms, an asset valuation for visa is a certified report showing your financial condition. It’s prepared by a chartered accountant (CA) who is a practicing member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB).

The report lists your assets, their values and supporting evidence. Its purpose is to show the embassy or university that you (or your sponsor) are financially capable of covering your expenses abroad whether that’s tuition fees, living costs or travel expenses. This is different from business asset valuation. For visa purposes, the focus is on personal and family assets, not corporate balance sheets. But if the business is sole proprietorship, the applicant’s assets from sole proprietorship will also be included.

When Do You Need It?

For Students

If you’re heading abroad for higher studies, the embassy or university will want to ensure you can afford tuition and living costs. Since most students don’t have their own income, they rely on their parents’ or sponsor’s assets and earnings. In such case, the assets and earnings of the parents or sponsor are reported in the valuation report.

For Tourists

Tourist visa applicants also need to prove financial solvency. Why? Because some people misuse tourist visas to stay illegally. If you can show a stable income and substantial assets, it reassures the embassy that you’re genuinely visiting and will return.

Other Cases

You may also need a valuation report for:

  • Business visits
  • Family visits
  • Immigration applications

What Does an Asset Valuation Report Include?

A valuation report lists and values the assets you own, such as:

  • Land and real estate (flat, plot, house)
  • Bank balances and cash in hand
  • Investments (fixed deposits, bonds, shares)
  • Vehicles
  • Business assets

To make the case strong, the regular yearly income of the applicant or his sponsor from salary, business of other sources is also reported.

Each item is backed by legal or financial documents, and the CA verifies the authenticity before including it. If you search for asset valuation for visa in Bangladesh sample online, you’ll see examples of how these reports look.

CA Asset Valuation Requirements in Bangladesh

Not just any accountant can issue this report. It must come from a practicing member of ICAB.

Common documents required include:

  • NID, TIN, and photographs of applicant/sponsor
  • Land deeds and mutation records
  • Bank statements (usually last 6 months)
  • Share or bond certificates
  • FDR or savings certificates
  • Business trade license, tax returns

The CA will review, verify, and sometimes physically inspect the assets before issuing the report.

How Embassies and Universities Verify the Report?

Here’s something most applicants don’t know, embassies and universities often double-check the authenticity of the valuation report.

They send an official email to the CA firm using the email address listed in the ICAB Members’ Directory. The CA firm then confirms whether they issued the report.

This verification step is crucial. If the embassy suspects a fake or inflated report, your visa application will surely be rejected and you can be blacklisted. That’s why it’s important to work only with a legitimate CA firm.

We recommend that visa applicants approach a chartered accountancy (CA) firm directly instead of relying on education consultancies or travel agencies. In the past, we have seen cases where, in an attempt to cut costs, some agencies have provided fake CA valuation reports. These were later rejected when embassies verified them directly with the CA firm.

There have even been instances where individuals employed by such agencies prepared fabricated reports themselves and handed them to applicants. To avoid these risks, it’s always best to deal directly with a licensed CA firm.

Online Asset Valuation in Bangladesh

You might want firms offering online asset valuation for visa in Bangladesh. While you can submit documents digitally, a CA still needs to verify them before signing the report. Full online processing without physical verification isn’t accepted by embassies.

But if you can’t go to a CA firm for unavoidable reasons, you can contact us. We will help you connect CA firms. If your report is simple and documents required are straight forward, it can be done such way. For example, if you have only some bank accounts and a land, the documents can be verified from CA firm office. In such case, CA firm may ask you to send them bank statements from the authorized email of respective banks. Now land documents can be verified in online using Govt sites.

Asset Valuation Report Format and Example

A typical CA valuation report includes:

  • Applicant details
  • Asset details with individual values
  • Yearly income and source of income
  • Supporting document references
  • CA’s declaration, seal, and signature

You can find a valuation report example online, but remember embassies look for authenticity, not fancy formatting.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting outdated bank statements
  • Overvaluing assets without market evidence
  • Using fake or unverifiable documents

Any of these can lead to embassy rejection.

Cost and Timeframe

The cost depends on the complexity of your assets and the CA firm’s rates. If you provide documents that can be verified easily, the CA firm may charge you 10-20 thousands taka depending on the task volume. In most cases, it takes 2–3 working days to prepare after you’ve submitted all documents.

Final Thoughts

An asset valuation for visa in Bangladesh is more than just paperwork—it’s proof of your financial credibility. For students, it reassures universities you can pay your way. For tourists, it shows embassies you’re visiting for the right reasons.

Always get your report prepared by a practicing chartered accountant whose details are listed in the ICAB Members’ Directory. That way, when the embassy or university emails them for verification, there’s no question about its authenticity.
