Reports claiming that the United Arab Emirates has extended its visa ban on Bangladesh and eight other Asian and African countries are false, the Bangladesh Embassy confirmed Sunday.
The misleading story originated from a private website, “UAE Visa Online,” which cited a supposed immigration circular. Ambassador Tareq Ahmed clarified that no such ban exists and said the embassy would verify the matter with UAE authorities after the weekend.
He suggested the report might have been a deliberate attempt by the visa-processing site to mislead applicants.
