Indians in Bangladesh
Indians in Bangladesh are citizens of India who reside in Bangladesh either legally or illegally. The presence and number of Indian nationals in Bangladesh has been a subject of discussion and, at times, controversy.
Cross-border movement from India to Bangladesh is constrained by restrictions on entry and employment. Government agencies on both sides track flows of registered migrants but lack reliable estimates of unauthorized migration. It is difficult to accurately quantify irregular migration because it is clandestine. Both countries acknowledge the need for reliable and comparable national migration data, but as of 2025, collection and publication remain a work in progress.
