The Bangladeshi government has established a cabinet committee to finalize the draft of the Visa Policy 2026. Chaired by Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, the committee's primary task is to review and refine the policy before its submission to the cabinet. The committee's formation was announced via a gazette notification from the Cabinet Division, with the home ministry set to provide secretarial assistance. The group comprises ministers from key portfolios including home affairs, foreign affairs, civil aviation and tourism, commerce, law, justice and parliamentary affairs, and education, alongside the executive chairman of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA). This policy is expected to be presented for approval at the cabinet's first meeting in the upcoming month. The committee has the authority to co-opt members and convene meetings as needed to ensure the policy meets its objectives.
