Australia has joined its international partners in a coordinated campaign to raise awareness about visa scams as part of International Fraud Awareness Week, warning that fraudulent agents are increasingly targeting would-be migrants across South Asia, said a spokesman of the Australian High Commission in Dhaka on Thursday.
The initiative, titled 'Fighting Visa Fraud', is being rolled out in collaboration with Canada, New Zealand and the UK, following commitments made at the Five Country Ministerial (FCM) this year.
The United States, though unable to participate in this week's launch, remains supportive of the effort.
In Dhaka, the Australian High Commission said it was stepping up outreach efforts to help protect Bangladeshi applicants from falling victim to fake migration agents who offer bogus guarantees, forge documents, and impersonate legitimate consultants. Officials described visa fraud as a "growing global issue" that can leave victims with devastating financial losses and lasting difficulties in future travel.
