Bangladeshi citizens living in the United States can now easily renew their passports without having to travel back to their home country. The Bangladesh Embassy in Washington, D.C. has introduced a new online passport renewal service for expatriates, making the process more convenient and accessible for those living abroad.
The online passport renewal service allows Bangladeshi nationals in the U.S. to submit their passport renewal applications electronically and have their new passport delivered to their doorstep. This eliminates the need for individuals to travel back to Bangladesh to renew their passports, saving them time and money.
To renew their passports online, expatriates must first visit the official website of the Bangladesh Embassy in the U.S. and fill out the online application form. They will need to provide their personal information, passport details, and upload a recent passport-sized photograph. Additionally, applicants must pay the passport renewal fee online using a credit or debit card.
Once the application is submitted and the payment is confirmed, applicants will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number. The processing time for passport renewal is typically around 4-6 weeks, after which the new passport will be sent to the applicant’s address in the U.S. via a secure courier service.
The online passport renewal service has been welcomed by many Bangladeshi expatriates in the U.S. who previously had to endure the hassle of traveling back to Bangladesh for passport renewal. “I have been living in the U.S. for over a decade, and every time my passport expires, I have had to make the trip back to Bangladesh to renew it. The online renewal service is a game-changer for me and many others like me who live abroad,” said Ahmed, a Bangladeshi expatriate residing in New York.
In addition to the convenience of renewing their passports online, expatriates also have the option to expedite the process by opting for the express service. For an additional fee, applicants can receive their new passport within 2-3 weeks instead of the standard processing time.
The introduction of the online passport renewal service is part of the Bangladesh government’s efforts to provide better services to its citizens living abroad. The initiative aims to make passport renewal more efficient and accessible for expatriates, ultimately strengthening the bond between Bangladeshis living in the U.S. and their home country.
Expatriates are advised to check the official website of the Bangladesh Embassy in the U.S. for further details on the online passport renewal service, including eligibility requirements, fees, and processing times. With this new service, Bangladeshi nationals in the U.S. can now easily renew their passports without the hassle of traveling back to Bangladesh, ensuring that they can continue to travel and stay connected to their homeland.
