Bangladesh’s visa crisis: Diplomatic failure or national reckoning?
Getting an e-visa for Uzbekistan, a country rich in Muslim heritage, was once remarkably simple for Bangladeshi citizens. A single-entry visa could be obtained online for just $30 from the comfort of home. Since August 6, 2024, however, Uzbekistan has suspended e-visa services for Bangladeshi citizens. As a result, Bangladesh no longer appears on the list of countries eligible for e-visa applications. Even now, in January 2026, the Uzbek government has yet to lift this restriction.
