Today is the day of Eid for the expatriates trapped in Bangladesh. Whenever I e-mailed the ambassador to find out about the 'visa ban' situation, he would reassure me with a reply. He also spoke about continuing diplomatic efforts. Thank you dear guardian. He was saying the words passionately, a Bangladeshi who was stuck on holiday in the country. He said the South Korean government was the first to inform the Bangladesh embassy in Seoul about the lifting of the visa ban. Then we can find out through the embassy.

We, thousands of expatriate Bangladeshis, have been waiting for this day. South Korea has lifted the 'visa ban' on Bangladesh. From Monday (February 8), Bangladeshis, including students, will be able to apply for a visa through the Employment Permit System (EPS). Therefore, the expatriate Bangladeshis in Korea are praising the diplomatic efforts of the government and Ambassador Abida Islam. As a result of the continuous diplomatic efforts, the South Korean government has recently decided to lift the visa ban imposed on the citizens of Bangladesh.

The South Korean embassy in Dhaka informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a diplomatic letter yesterday. As a result, Bangladeshi nationals wishing to return to Korea will be able to apply for a visa through the South Korean embassy in Dhaka from February 8. This has also been confirmed on the Facebook page of the Bangladesh Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
