South Korea has announced the resumption of receiving visa applications from Bangladeshis after two rounds of closure for about 16 months over the coronavirus pandemic. The Embassy of South Korea in Dhaka made the announcement on Thursday, saying it will receive the visa applications from Sunday, reports bdnews24.com. South Korea stopped issuing visas to Bangladeshis on Jun 23, 2020, after many passengers with COVID-negative certificates tested positive for the disease. The embassy warned that it will stop receiving visa applications again if the number of coronavirus cases among arrivals rises. Bangladeshis who are willing to travel to South Korea for more than 90 days for study or research can apply for visas now.
