Italy to clear 20,000 visas by Dec: foreign adviser

Italy has assured Bangladesh that it will clear 20,000 pending visa applications for Bangladeshi nationals by December, said Foreign Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain here today.
"As many as 20000 (visa) cases were cleared from Rome but the pace of issuing those (in Dhaka) is slow. I spoke with the Italian ambassador (in Dhaka) .. he promised me that they will issue all 20,000 visas by December," he said.
The foreign adviser shared the updates with reporters following a meeting with a delegation of Italian visa seekers at the foreign ministry.
Touhid said apart from the cleared 20,000, they are also working on the remaining applications and will see how much progress can be made.
