Experience at embassy
Rana, On e-mail
A few weeks ago I went to the Bangladesh embassy at Stockholm to attest some papers and my photos for opening a foreign account at Janata Bank in Bangladesh. I got the papers attested by the first secretary, but she refused to attest my photos. She said that they do not attest photos. I was thinking it may be a part of our government policy, so I did not mind. I came back and posted my papers with photos to the Janata Bank. Then I got a phone call from my brother and he said that my account could not be opened without attestation of photos, because my passport is now seven years old and recent photos do not match with the passport's. He also said that the bank officer showed him attested photos of Bangladeshi people living in different countries. Then I understood that embassy officials do attest photos and it is not forbidden. I called the official concerned once again and wanted to know why she did not attest photos as other embassies do, then she said that I was not known to her. She said, "People have different names, if you have any complaint against me then you can lodge it with the Bangladesh government." What can people like me do?
