In a significant move to strengthen bilateral relations, Bangladesh has relaxed its visa rules for Pakistani citizens. The new regulations, announced by the Bangladeshi government, aim to facilitate travel and trade between the two nations.
Under the revised rules, Pakistani nationals can now obtain a visa on arrival in Bangladesh, eliminating the need for prior approval. This change is expected to boost tourism, trade, and cultural exchange between the two countries.
The Bangladeshi government has also increased the duration of stay for Pakistani citizens, allowing them to remain in the country for up to 30 days. Additionally, the visa fees have been reduced, making it more affordable for Pakistani nationals to visit Bangladesh.
This move is seen as a positive step towards improving relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan. The two countries have had a complex history, but recent efforts have been made to strengthen bilateral ties.
The relaxed visa rules are expected to benefit not only tourists but also businessmen, students, and patients seeking medical treatment in Bangladesh. The move is also anticipated to increase people-to-people contact and foster greater understanding between the two nations.
