Romania to provide visas to over 15,000 Bangladeshis

A consular team of Romania is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on March 5 as the country is likely to issue visas to more than 15,000 Bangladesh citizens from March to September this year.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) spokesperson Seheli Sabrin confirmed this during a weekly briefing on Thursday.
Required steps have already been taken by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help conduct the Romanian consular mission in Dhaka, she said.

Last year a consular team from Romania stayed in Dhaka for three months and issued around 5,400 visas.

As the mission was run successfully, Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen sent a letter to his Romanian counterpart requesting him to operate another consular mission.

After that, Romania showed interest in running a consular mission in Dhaka for six months from March to September to facilitate the issuance of visas to Bangladeshis.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is making all the arrangements for the operation of the consular mission of Romania in Dhaka.
