India will soon restart all visa services in Bangladesh, a senior diplomat said. Aniruddha Das, India’s senior consular official in Sylhet, said, “Medical and double-entry visas are being issued now.” He added that steps are under way to resume other categories, including travel visas. “All types of Indian visa processing will return to normal soon,” he said. India had suspended visa services from December 17, 2025, citing security concerns and threats to its missions. Ties had worsened during the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government. Relations are now expected to improve after BNP chief Tarique Rahman became Prime Minister. Das said India-Bangladesh ties are based on “mutual respect and honour.” (PC: India Today)
