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.
Bangladesh in perplexity of diplomacy!
Bangladesh has been drifting in a puzzle of diplomacy. Not only Bangladesh but the world politics has met with a perplexity. Since Donald Trump was elected the US President, the suicidal decision to impose additional tariffs on the entry of products from various countries into the US market has established a valid ground for isolating the United States in world politics. And within that area, world diplomacy is becoming complicated. Of course, Bangladesh is not outside of it.
