Bangladeshis can now apply for Australian visa from Dhaka instead of New Delhi

Australia will now process visa applications for Bangladeshi nationals directly from its High Commission in Dhaka, as confirmed by Australian Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke during a phone conversation with Bangladesh’s Adviser for Home Affairs, Lieutenant General (Retd.) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, on Thursday.

The announcement was made during a meeting of the Advisory Council at the Chief Adviser’s Office, where the Home Affairs Adviser informed the council that the decision would take immediate effect.

This move follows a request made by Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus during Minister Burke’s visit to Bangladesh in October last year.

Previously, Australian visas for Bangladeshi applicants were processed through New Delhi.
