Saudi embassy made biometrics mandatory for work visa

The Saudi Embassy in Dhaka has made biometrics mandatory for work visa applicants from Bangladesh.

An additional centre will be opened at Chattogram tomorrow to further ease the loads as the announcement led to unprecedented demand, officials at Tasheer who are processing the visas said.

However, Tasheer visa service centres were equipped to accommodate the demand.

In a span of a week, the centres were open for extended hours and processed approximately more than 12,000 biometric entries.

The centres were operational even during the weekend (Fridays and Saturdays)

An additional waiting lobby was taken within the Jamuna Future Park to mitigate the hardships of applicants.

Starting today an online appointment booking system was rolled out.
