Thailand, a popular destination for different purposes, is making the process to obtain visa for Bangladeshis easier, according to sources at the foreign ministry.

 More than one lakh Bangladeshis visit Thailand every year for tourism, treatment, business and some other reasons, said an official.

But recently, another private company named Saimon Overseas Limited has also been appointed for processing visa applications for the Southeast Asian country.

The operation of the second company is expected to facilitate Bangladeshis to visit Thailand more easily.

The VFS office in Dhaka is situated at AJ Heights, Cha-72/1, Pragati Sarani, Uttar Badda. In Chittagong, they are at Chamber House, Agrabad and Nirvana Inn, Mirza Jungle Road, Ramer Dighir Par in Sylhet.
