Bangladeshi students studying in German universities but unable to go to the country since last year amid the pandemic appealed to the German embassy in Dhaka and the foreign ministry to facilitate the student visa process as some universities asked students to attend in-person classes from next semester.
They urged the German embassy and foreign ministry to ensure visa processing as an emergency service amid the ongoing lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Leaders of Baira and Atab also said respective employers will also cancel visa permit of many Bangladeshi workers if they fail to reach their workplaces abroad due to suspension of international flights.
Following the government guidance and instruction, Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh on April 11 announced to suspend operation of all international passenger flights to and from Bangladesh from April 14 to April 20 in a bid to contain Covid-19 infection.
However, medevac, humanitarian, relief, cargo, technical landing (for refueling only) and the flights cleared under special consideration will remain out of purview of this suspension, CAAB said.
Baira and Atab leaders demanded that the manpower sector be kept out of purview of lockdown by declaring the sector as an emergency service sector.
