India-Bangladesh Relations Thaw: Tarique Rahman Government Restores Visa Services for Indians

India-Bangladesh Relations Thaw: Tarique Rahman Government Restores Visa Services for Indians

New Delhi/Dhaka: February 20, 2026

Ice begins melting in India-Bangladesh ties post-power shift. Tarique Rahman’s (BNP) new government reinstated visa services for Indian citizens just three days after taking office—suspended for nearly two months.

Visa Services Restored

Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi resumed all categories Friday morning. Travelers/businesspersons from both nations faced major hurdles during suspension.

Diplomatic Tensions Background

Peak friction hit December 2025 after Sharif Usman Bin Hadi’s murder sparked anti-India protests. Stone-pelting at Indian mission in Chattogram led to security-driven visa halt.

India’s Reciprocal Moves Expected

Sources indicate India preparing to fully restore Bangladeshi visa processing soon. Officials signal necessary steps underway.

Experts’ View: Early decision signals new Dhaka regime’s seriousness about repairing ties with New Delhi.
