India has resumed issuing tourist visas for Bangladeshi citizens after a gap of nearly two years. Applications for the visas will be accepted from June 28, while visa issuance will begin on July 1.
The announcement was made on Thursday by India`s newly appointed High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Dinesh Trivedi, after visiting the Indian Visa Application Centre at Jamuna Future Park in Dhaka.
"I am very happy to announce that we are resuming our normal visa applications for tourist visas which can be submitted from Jun 28," he said.
He mentioned that visas will be issued from five centers— Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chittagong, Sylhet, and Khulna – across the country.
The High Commissioner also said there are plans to expand the number of visa centers in the future. Special facilities are expected to be introduced for medical visa applicants, children, and persons with disabilities.
Meanwhile, India`s Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement that the Indian government has granted Dinesh Trivedi ministerial rank.
The decision to resume tourist visas for Bangladeshis is expected to strengthen people-to-people ties, travel, and tourism between the two neighboring countries.
