India to Restart Issuing Tourist Visas to Bangladeshis from June 28

India will resume issuing tourist visas to Bangladeshi citizens from 28 June, Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi announced on Thursday.

The announcement came during a programme at the Indian Visa Application Centre (IVAC) in Dhaka. Tourist visa services for Bangladeshis had remained suspended since the fall of the Awami League government on 5 August 2024, although India continued to issue a limited number of medical and business visas during that period.

Dinesh Trivedi, who recently assumed office as India's High Commissioner to Bangladesh, arrived in Dhaka on 12 June. Earlier on Thursday, he formally presented his credentials to President Mohammed Shahabuddin at Bangabhaban.

Soon after the credential ceremony, the Indian envoy attended the IVAC event, where he officially announced the restoration of tourist visa services for Bangladeshi travellers.
