A tornado does not necessarily have to be visible; however, the intense low pressure caused by the fast wind speeds (see Bernoulli's principle) and rapid rotation (due to cyclostrophic balance) usually cause water vapor in the air to condense into a visible condensation funnel.
Tornadoes occurring in these conditions are especially dangerous, since only radar observations, or possibly the sound of an approaching tornado, serve as any warning to those in the storm's path.
Bangladesh and surrounding areas of eastern India suffer from tornadoes of equal severity to those in the US with more regularity than any other region in the world, however these occur with greater recurrence interval, and tend to be under-reported due to the scarcity of media coverage in a third-world country.

This is due to the fact that tornadoes form by several different mechanisms, and also that they follow a life cycle which causes the same tornado to change in appearance over time.
Bangladesh and surrounding areas suffer from tornadoes of equal severity to those in the US, however these occur less frequently, and tend to be under-reported due to the scarcity of media coverage in a third-world country.
