Immigration sees genuine tourists as those that can support themselves financially while holidaying, and are not dependent on others. Therefore, unless they are your children, you cannot financially support another person's holiday.

For over 18 years of age, you are considered an adult and must meet all requirements, including bank accounts.
Dont have a bank account/using your spouses bank statement: If you don't have a bank account with enough funds, you can use your spouses bank statement. You must be legally married and the bank account must have enough to support two people travelling, so US$4000.
We cannot apply for your visa without 3 months of bank statements. If you recently opened a bank account, and only have 1 or 2 months of statements, immigration will reject your application, and we will not accept your application.

Why your passport affects your visa application
Tourist visas in recent years for Bangladesh passport holders have not been available for periods of up to three months and then only with pre-immigration approval. While visas are now being issued for your country, it's important to ensure that all required documents align with the immigration guidelines. Proof of employment is required for Bangladesh passport holders (can you pay slips). If you are a student, then proof of paid enrollment and attendance at your school may be required.
Immigration wording for rejections is: “Rejection of applications is common for several reasons. The application does not meet the requirements, the quality or format of the uploaded documents is poor or incorrect, and errors in filling in foreigners' data and information. Also, the possibility of required documents such as a letter of application, letter of sponsorship, bank accounts, etc., is fraud. This occurrence can become the subject of rejection and potentially breaching the law.”
C.Bali has a 100% success rate for obtaining visas and maintains the highest integrity and care for our clients to be up to date with all the latest regulations. However, should Indonesian Immigration remove any of these countries from tourist visa eligibility after we have applied we take no responsibility.
