Members of government delegations receive “A1” and officials of the United Nations or any of its agencies, international or regional organizations receive “A2” category visas. If the family members of the ‘A2’ visa holders want to come to Bangladesh, they are granted the ‘FA2’ visa.
While experts working on various government projects funded by development agencies such as the World Bank receive ‘A3’ visas, other experts also receive category ‘E’ visas. These specialists can work in governmental, semi-governmental or autonomous organizations.
Traders receive “B” visas, but investors in the capital market receive “PI” visas. Students receive ‘S’ visas, journalists receive ‘J’ visas, players receive ‘P’ visas, and diplomats receive ‘D’ visas. DA visas are also granted to those who work as domestic workers in the homes of diplomats.
