Pakistani citizens will now be able to enter Bangladesh even without security clearance. The interim government of Bangladesh has abolished the condition of security clearance before applying for visa for Pakistani citizens. According to local media reports, the Security Services Division (SSD) of the Home Ministry of Bangladesh informed the Foreign Ministry about this.
Since 2019, Pakistani citizens were required to obtain a non-objection certificate from SSD before applying for a Bangladeshi visa. At the same time, there is a reduction in the number of visas given to Indian citizens for Bangladesh. Dhaka has sent an order to Kolkata Mission of Bangladesh regarding this.
