Delhi, Dhaka Move To Resume Full-Scale Visa Services Amid Ties Reset

India and Bangladesh are moving towards normalising ties after months of strained relations, focusing on full-scale visa resumption, as per reports. Bangladesh has already restored visa services for Indian citizens across all categories, while India is reportedly planning a phased restart of its visa operations in the coming weeks. The matter was discussed during Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman’s recent visit to India. Bangladesh has said its visa centres in New Delhi, Kolkata, Agartala, Mumbai and Chennai are functional and has urged India to follow suit. Officials noted services were restored in February after a brief suspension. Both countries are also exploring wider cooperation in trade, energy and connectivity once visa operations are fully normalised.
