It is indeed good that India is planning to make its visa system easier for foreign tourists, including the Bangladeshis. The new visas system will help us to visit our neighbouring country with more comfort and ease. Thousands of Bangladeshis, particularly students, teachers, tourists, businessmen, patients, scholars and scientists visit India every year.
When the new visa system will be effective, travellers will be able to receive electronic version of visa within three days after paying the required fees. The electronic visas will be valid for one month. The Indian officials at the airports would do the rest of the work when the tourists arrive. Bangladesh and India share a vast border and our trade and bilateral relations are thriving day by day.
Bangladesh and India can take their relationship to a new height through further cooperation. The world has become a global village and we cannot live in isolation from each other. I hope India will introduce the new visa system very soon. The existing visa process is too time-consuming for the visitors to visit India. It discourages and also hampers mutual interaction of people.
