Bangladesh Visa Issuance Drops Sharply in Assam

Visa issuance for Bangladesh in Assam has dropped by over 60%, with daily approvals falling from 50–55 to just 15–18. The decline, affecting education and healthcare sectors, is attributed to political instability in Bangladesh and India’s recent trade restrictions. Student and medical tourism visas have fallen drastically, while only tourist visas see minimal demand. However, a slight increase has been noted recently due to an upcoming religious event in Bangladesh.
