FFs to get 5yrs multiple entry Indian visas
UNB
Indian High Commission in Dhaka yesterday announced that the freedom fighters will henceforth be eligible for five-year multiple entry tourist visas, reports UNB. The decision was taken during the visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to India on April 7-10. At present, Bangladesh nationals, above the age of 65 years, are eligible for multiple entry tourist visas of five years. In recognition of the special connection between Bangladeshi freedom fighters and India, this provision has been extended to freedom fighters as a special gesture, said the High Commission. Freedom fighters willing to avail of the five-year tourist visa can walk-in without prior appointment and submit their tourist visa applications at visa centre in Gulshan and all of the eight IVACs outside Dhaka - Chittagong, Rajshahi, Sylhet, Barisal, Khulna, Jessore, Mymensingh and Rangpur.
