Bangladesh Wants Europe Visa Centre Moved from Delhi

Bangladesh has expressed frustration with the European visa application process, which currently requires its citizens to travel to India for visa processing. The country has requested that the European visa center be relocated from Delhi to Dhaka or another country, citing the challenges faced by its citizens due to India’s visa restrictions. This move is intended to ease the burden on Bangladeshi nationals who are facing difficulties with travel and obtaining the necessary paperwork.

The request is motivated by the growing dissatisfaction with India’s stringent visa policies that often complicate travel for Bangladeshi citizens. Additionally, the inconvenience of traveling to a foreign country for visa processing is seen as a significant issue for those seeking to visit European nations. Bangladesh hopes that the shift of the visa center will improve the accessibility and efficiency of the process for its nationals.

Indian restrictions have been a longstanding source of tension, and Bangladesh has urged that the relocation would benefit both countries by streamlining visa applications and reducing the number of challenges faced by its citizens. The move could also align with broader diplomatic efforts to improve relations between India and Bangladesh, particularly in matters of mobility and international cooperation.

Although the European Union has not yet responded to this request, Bangladesh's appeal underscores the challenges faced by its citizens due to the current visa processing system. Moving the visa center could alleviate these issues, facilitating easier access for Bangladeshi nationals to European countries while also improving bilateral relations with India and other neighboring countries.
