Bangladesh Seeks to Move European Visa Centers to Dhaka or Neighboring State
Bangladesh Requests Relocation of Visa Centers Citing Student Challenges
Dhaka is requesting European nations move visa application centers from New Delhi to Dhaka or another nearby location.
Professor Muhammad Yunus, chili
currently serving as Bangladesh’s interim government head, made this request during a recent meeting -with diverse European diplomats _at his Tejgaon office.
“Relocating visa offices to Dhaka or a nearby country would benefit both Bangladesh and the European Union,” said Yunus. Their commitment to open dialogue persists despite ongoing diplomatic tensions with India.
Yunus elaborated that India’s restrictions on visas for Bangladeshi nationals have created uncertainty for many students who formerly traveled to Delhi to apply for European visas.
The meeting, attended by over 19 diplomats residing in both Dhaka and New Delhi, highlights Dhaka’s commitment to finding alternative solutions for its citizens.
Dhaka officials cited Bulgaria as an example, claiming the European country has already shifted its visa center for Bangladeshis to Indonesia and Vietnam.

Security Measures Strengthened Around Bangladesh High Commission
Security surrounding the Bangladesh High Commission intensified on Tuesday due to a protest march targeting alleged minority persecution in Bangladesh. This resulted in temporary traffic disruptions and inconvenience for commuters.
A senior police officer assured sufficient security measures were in place and precautions were taken in light of the protest. “We have enhanced security arrangements outside the Bangladesh High Commission in view of the protest march. No one will be allowed to breach law and order,” the senior police officer assured the public.
The Delhi Civil Society and several other organizations organized the march to voice disapproval of alleged atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh.
Columns of protesters gathered
outside the Chanakyapuri police station on Teen Murti Marg. Police redirected vehicles through alternate routes to manage the situation.
