No prior appointment for Indian tourist visa

Applicants for Indian tourist visa can walk-in and submit their applications to Indian Visa Application Centre (IVAC) at Mirpur Road in the city without a prior appointment from October 10 onwards, reports UNB.

This measure is aimed at easing access to Indian visa and strengthening people-to-people contacts between India and Bangladesh, said the Indian High Commission in Dhaka on Thursday.

Applications will be accepted from 8:30am to 12:30pm. Tourist visa applicants will not be required to submit confirmed tickets to India.
