Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Bangladesh missions in New Delhi, Agartala and Siliguri have restarted full visa and consular services around February 20–21.
- An official quoted by ANI said tourist visas, largely curtailed in recent weeks, will be fully resumed from Monday across all Bangladeshi missions in India.
- The freeze began on December 22, 2025, after protests and security incidents near Indian diplomatic facilities, followed by a January “technical pause” for non‑essential travel.
- The move closely follows Tarique Rahman’s February 17 swearing‑in and is widely read as an early confidence‑building step to steady ties with New Delhi.
- India’s foreign ministry welcomed stronger engagement, and reciprocal easing of Indian visa services for Bangladeshis is expected but not yet finalized.
