Oman exempts some visas from ban against Bangladeshis
The government of Oman has decided to relax a visa ban, introduced last October, against Bangladeshis.
“…a decision was taken lately by the relevant authorities in Oman to exempt certain categories of Bangladeshi nationals from the visa ban issued in October of last year,” a press statement issued by the Embassy of Sultanate of Oman in Bangladesh said today (12 June).
“The exempted categories are: family visas, visitation visas for citizens of Bangladesh residing in GCC countries, physician, engineer, nurse, teacher, accountant, investor, all types of official visas and high income tourists,” reads the press statement.
The press statement also said the Oman embassy in Dhaka will receive and process all applications from applicants belonging to the above-mentioned categories and will coordinate duly with Royal Oman Police (ROP) to issue the visa.
“All applications must be submitted with documentation duly attested to verify the eligibility of the applicant for the requested visa. Processing of applications will take one to four weeks depending on the particulars of each application,” it added.
