As New Zealand's principal mission in the country, it works directly with the Bangladesh government and oversees consular services nationwide.

New Zealand citizens living in Bangladesh rely on the mission for passport renewals, civil registry matters such as birth and marriage registration, notarial services and emergency assistance.
