Oman will reopen 12 categories of visas for Bangladeshis, says Sirajul Haque, Chairman of Bangladesh Social Club Oman.
This will cover family visas, visit visas for Bangladeshi nationals living in GCC countries, doctor’s visas, engineers’ visas, nurses’ visas, teachers’ visas, accountants’ visas, investor visas, and all types of official visas, says the Times of Oman.
Bangladeshi nationals’ arrivals in Oman dropped by over 50% since Oman banned the issuance of visas for them across all categories on October 31, 2023. In September, Bangladeshi arrivals stood at 28,201, a drop of over 50 per cent in a few months. In a circular issued on October 31, the Royal Oman Police (ROP) suspended the issuance of visas across all categories for Bangladeshi nationals.
