Bangladesh Visa Services Disrupted by Central Server Glitch

Bangladesh’s central visa computer system has developed a technical problem.

Because of this, Bangladesh embassies in different countries cannot process some visa applications normally.

No Visa Required applications, regular visas and visa issuance may all take longer.

Some applicants also have not received expected emails or replies to their calls.

The embassies in Bangkok and Berlin warned people about the problem.

Officials are working to repair the system.

They asked applicants to allow extra time and avoid repeated enquiries.

Applicants will be informed through mission websites and Facebook pages when services return to normal.
