People now can pay online the visa processing fee for going aboard instead of rushing to the designated banks and waiting in queue to deposit the fee physically.
Bangladesh Bank (BB) on Sunday in a circular said that people might use their international credit card (ICCs) and virtual cards for online payment of visa processing fees as per requirement of concerned embassies and high commissions. The central bank also advised ICCs issuing banks to issue virtual cards to individuals not holding ICCs so they can pay online the visa processing fee.
Earlier, BB eased the rules and regulations, allowing students open block account abroad and remit necessary money in foreign currency for paying processing fees for visa and admission.
