Latest official rule we can cite
The 22 October 2025 Bangladesh Gazette required Saint Martin tickets to be bought through a Bangladesh Tourism Board-recognised web portal with a Travel Pass and QR code. For that season it allowed day visits in November, overnight stays in December and January, limited average daily visitors to 2,000 and stopped tourist travel in February. Those were season-specific instructions—not a promise for 2026-27.
