Visa and embassy

From your visa file to the embassy desk

Type D visas, which files are decided in Dhaka and which in New Delhi, checklists, interview questions, refusal letters and appeals — every article here.

This is every step on either side of submitting a file: which countries decide a Bangladeshi student visa in Dhaka and which send it to New Delhi, the difference between a Type D and a Type C, what the interview actually asks, how to read a refusal letter, and whether an appeal or a fresh application is the better move. One thing you will not find here is a visa success rate. No embassy publishes one for Bangladeshi students, so we do not print a number either — and one of the articles explains exactly why nobody can.
