প্রায় ২ বছর পর বাংলাদেশিদের জন্য ভারতের ট্যুরিস্ট ভিসা আবার চালু হচ্ছে — আবেদন ২৮ জুন ২০২৬ (রবিবার) থেকে, ঢাকা সহ ৫টি IVAC কেন্দ্রে (ঢাকা, চট্টগ্রাম, রাজশাহী, সিলেট, খুলনা); মেডিকেল ভিসা আগের মতোই চালু। ভারতীয় ভিসা বাংলাদেশিদের জন্য ফ্রি — শুধু IVAC সার্ভিস চার্জ ৳১,৫০০; e-visa নেই (sticker visa)। সতর্কতা: কেউ "guaranteed slot" বা বাড়তি টাকায় দ্রুত ভিসার কথা বললে তা প্রতারণা — হাইকমিশন টাকার বিনিময়ে slot দেয় না।
