The Embassy of Bangladesh in Kuwait has strengthened the initiative to facilitate the transit visa of Saudi Arabia to facilitate the travel of Kuwaiti expatriates and new visa holders stuck in Bangladesh. For this purpose, diplomatic discussions with the embassy of Saudi Arabia in Dhaka are continuing, according to related sources.
An embassy release said that transit through Saudi Arabia has now become an important option for Bangladeshi expatriates and new workers wishing to return to Kuwait. However, due to transit visa complications, many people are facing obstacles in their travels. In this context, the Bangladesh Mission of Kuwait is continuing discussions with the Saudi Embassy in Dhaka through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The notification expressed hope that positive results will be obtained soon as a result of these diplomatic efforts. Those concerned think that if the transit visa process is easy, the movement of workers from Bangladesh to Kuwait will be normal and the long-term suffering will be reduced.
According to the notification, the Bangladesh Embassy in Kuwait has continued to communicate with Bangladesh Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Private Aviation Authority, Expatriate Welfare and Foreign Employment Ministry, Bangladesh Biman, Kuwait Airlines and Jazeera Airways to start flights to Dhaka via Saudi Arabia for Bangladeshi citizens living in Kuwait to travel to Bangladesh and other destinations. It is expected that regular flights to Dhaka via Saudi Arabia will start soon for Kuwaiti expatriates.
As a result of the continuous efforts of the Bangladesh Embassy, a Bangladesh Biman flight is being operated daily from March 30 to Dhaka via Dammam, Saudi Arabia, and it is expected that Kuwait Airlines flights will also be launched on the Dammam-Dhaka route very soon.
Apart from this, arrangements have been made for Bangladeshi expatriates to travel to Bangladesh or other destinations via Saudi Arabia for urgent needs, with the help of Bangladesh Embassy, Kuwait, to obtain an entry permit or entry permit from Saudi Arabia and this initiative will continue.
