Planning a family holiday from Dhaka: a simple checklist

Check every passport first. Many countries require at least six months' validity beyond your return date, and children's passports expire sooner.

Choose destinations with short flights and simple visa processes for a first family trip — Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and the UAE are popular choices.

Plan fewer hotel changes. Two or three bases are usually more relaxing than moving every night, especially with young children or grandparents.

Leave room for rest. One free day in every three or four keeps everyone happy.
