Six new Indian visa centres to be opened soon
DHAKA, Jan 2, 2019 (BSS) – The Indian High Commission in Dhaka today
announced that six new Indian Visa Application Centres (IVACs) will be opened
in Bangladesh soon.
Two visa centres will be introduced in Thakurgaon and Bogura on January 6
while four centres in Cumilla, Noakhali, Brahmanbaria and Satkhira on January
12 this year, a press release said.
The new IVACs are being opened to further serve the needs and facilitate
the access of Indian visas to Bangladeshi nationals residing in far-flung and
remote areas.
At present, there are nine fully functional IVACs in different parts of
Bangladesh and these six new IVACs will increase the total number of visa
centres to 15.
The opening of more Indian Visa Application Centres across Bangladesh
and the provision of amenities reflect the continuing efforts of the High
Commission of India in collaboration with the State Bank of India to further
streamline the Indian visa application process and strengthen people-to-
people contacts between India and Bangladesh.
