Bangladesh has suspended its visa-on-arrival services for nationals of all countries until further notice as the coronavirus outbreak in the country continued to intensify.

However, the government has made an exception for foreign investors and businessmen with valid credentials to avail the service, according to a notice issued by the home ministry's Security Services Division on Tuesday.

In such cases, investors and businessmen must submit to the immigration counter a medical clearance certificate in English issued within 72 hours of a PCR test.
