Sheikh Hasina has vowed to return to Bangladesh in December, citing duty over personal or political ambition.
The ousted prime minister faces a death sentence, handed down in absentia, for crimes against humanity linked to a deadly crackdown.
Ms Hasina has been living in exile in India since fleeing Bangladesh in August 2024 after a student-led uprising ended her 15-year rule.
Bangladesh's law minister warned the former leader would likely face immediate arrest upon her return.
