Malaysia to issue multiple entry visas for Bangladeshi workers: Asif Nazrul

Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul has said that the Malaysian government will now issue multiple-entry visas for Bangladeshi workers.

“I have good news for our brothers and sisters working in Malaysia… We have received official confirmation that Bangladeshi workers will now be granted multiple-entry visas,” he wrote Tuesday night in a post on his verified Facebook page.

Asif Nazrul said, “We have visited Malaysia in May last. At that time we met with the home minister of Malaysia. We informed him that Bangladeshi workers get single entry visa in Malaysia while the other countries workers get multiple visa. He was astonished and asked the officials concerned about the matter. The officials confirmed it to him (home minister). Then he directed them to resolve the issue.”

Dr Asif Nazrul, who is also the Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser said, “After that we have communicated with them continuously. Finally we have been confirmed it.”

He also said that a Bangladeshi delegation is currently visiting Malaysia, and another strong delegation will travel there next month. “I hope we will be able to share more good news on this soon,” he added.
