The Embassy of China in Dhaka has introduced special facilitation measures for medical treatment visas for Bangladeshi nationals to China, reports BSS.
The embassy has taken the initiative to implement the important consensus on public health cooperation reached by the leaders of China and Bangladesh during the visit of Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus in March, the Chinese Embassy said.
As per the efforts, the Chinese embassy simplified Documentation requirements, dedicated "Green Channel" Services and Streamlined Interview Process.
The local Bangladeshi travel agencies with valid business licenses may issue guarantee letters for travellers seeking medical treatment in China regarding bank deposit certificates and proof of kinship, exempting them from obtaining the certificates authenticated by the Bangladeshi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Embassy and the Visa Application Service Centre have established dedicated hotlines (Embassy: 02222260103, 01708464809; Visa Centre: 02226603261) and a WhatsApp service group (01885041364) for medical visa inquiries.
Online applications will be prioritised and reviewed immediately upon submission.
A dedicated counter for medical visas has been set up at the Visa Centre, allowing applicants to submit materials on arrival without waiting.
A "Green Channel" is available for urgent medical cases, with visas issued on the same day.
Medical visa applicants with scheduled appointments will be granted queue-free priority interviews.
Where in-person attendance is medically inadvisable, a travel agency's guarantee letter may authorize remote interview proceedings.
Chinese diagnostic and treatment medical institutions possess extensive experience for international patients, said the embassy.
More Bangladeshi citizens are welcome to visit China for health check-ups, rehabilitation and medical care, it added.
