For Bangladeshi travelers dreaming of exploring Europe, one common question is: “Which Schengen visa is the easiest to get?” While the Schengen visa application process is standardized across all member countries, some countries are known for having relatively higher approval rates and smoother application processes.
Great news for Bangladeshi travelers! You no longer need to travel to Delhi to apply for visas to certain European countries. Starting January 1, 2025, several Schengen and Eastern European countries have introduced new visa application facilities in Dhaka, making it significantly easier for Bangladeshis to apply for their visas.
New Schengen Visa Application Opportunities in Dhaka
From now on, Bangladeshi travelers can apply for visas to the following Schengen countries directly through the Swedish Embassy in Dhaka:
- Belgium
- Finland
- Iceland
- Latvia
- Luxembourg
- Netherlands
- Poland
- Slovenia
- Sweden
Additionally, the following countries will now accept visa applications through their own offices in Dhaka:
- Portugal
- Romania
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
Why Is This a Big Deal?
For years, Bangladeshi travelers had to travel to Delhi to apply for visas to many Schengen and Eastern European countries due to the absence of embassies in Dhaka. This was not only time-consuming but also expensive and inconvenient.
Moreover, with restrictions on tourist visas for some countries, traveling for education or work to these destinations became increasingly challenging. Recognizing this issue, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken steps to make visa applications more accessible for Bangladeshis by bypassing Delhi and allowing applications to be processed directly from Dhaka.
What Does This Mean for Bangladeshi Travelers?
- Convenience:
- No more costly and time-consuming trips to Delhi. You can now apply for your visa directly from Dhaka.
- Access to More Countries:
- With the inclusion of 9 Schengen countries and 4 additional European countries, your dream of traveling to Europe is now closer than ever.
- Simplified Process:
- The new system streamlines the visa application process, making it faster and more efficient for Bangladeshi applicants.
- Opportunities for Work and Education:
- Easier access to visas means more opportunities for Bangladeshi students, professionals, and tourists to explore Europe.
