Dhaka: India would soon be resuming all visa services in Bangladesh, a top Indian diplomat in Bangladesh has said. Aniruddha Das, India's senior consular official in Sylhet, said steps were being taken to fully restore all visa services, according to local media reports.
"Medical and double-entry visas are being issued now, and steps are under way to resume other categories, including travel visas," Das was quoted as saying by BDNews24.
The ties between India and Bangladesh hit a new low during the rule of the Muhammad Yunus-led interim administration, which saw the release of India-baiters and anti-India radicals from jails. Facing serious threats to its missions, India started suspending visa services in Bangladesh from December 17, 2025, starting with the closing of the Indian Visa Application Centre in Dhaka.
With Tarique Rahman becoming the Prime Minister after the February 12 election, there have been enough indications that both sides would work to mend the ties, which have a long history.
