The government of Oman will open visas for Bangladeshi nationals in 12 categories, said Sirajul Haque, Chairman of Bangladesh Social Club Oman.

The 12 categories include family visas, visit visas for Bangladeshi nationals living in GCC countries, doctor’s visas, engineers' visas, nurses' visas, teachers' visas, accountants' visas, investor visas, and all types of official visas, Times of Oman reported.

In September, Bangladeshi arrivals stood at 28,201, a drop of over 50 per cent in a few months. In a circular issued on October 31, the Royal Oman Police (ROP) suspended the issuance of visas across all categories for Bangladeshi nationals.
