Hope everyone is well and I am also fine. My Name is Sikder Shova.I live Dhaka city in Bangladesh.Today I will discuss about Bangladesh passport issues.
What is passport?
A passport is a type of travel document, usually issued by the government of a country. It certifies the nationality and identity of the carrier during international travel. A passport usually contains the bearer's name, date and place of birth, photograph, signature, and other identifying information.
Bangladeshi Passport: It is an ICAO compliant, machine readable and biometric e-passport issued by the passport holder for travel abroad. Bangladesh is the first country in South Asia to issue e-passport to all eligible citizens. The passport booklet is produced, printed and issued by the Immigration and Passport Directorate of the Ministry of Home Affairs. An electronic microprocessor chip is embedded in the e-passport.
The e-passport incorporates thirty one different security features including embossed holographic images on a thin membrane layer. This security feature changes color under light and appears as moving. Also, Bangladeshi passports can be used in any country in the world except Israel. [6] The e-passport contains the holder's demographic and biometric information, such as ten-finger fingerprint, iris scan, color photo of the face and digital signature. The e-passport is stored on the chip.
[7] Depending on the age of the applicant, the e-passport is valid for five years or ten years and is issued to eligible Bangladeshi citizens by natural descent or direct citizenship through the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh or its foreign diplomatic missions. [8]
type
Bangladesh government issues three different types of passports. These are diplomatic, official and regular or ordinary passports.
• Ordinary Passport Sabuj Malat) It is issued to ordinary regular citizens of Bangladesh for international travel. Like vacation, study, business trip etc.
• Diplomatic passport (Lal Malat) is issued to Bangladeshi diplomats, top government officials and diplomatic couriers.
• Special Passport (Special Passport, Maroon Malat), also known as India-Bangladesh Special Passport, was issued to Bangladeshi citizens and Indian citizens of West Bengal and North Eastern states only. It was only valid for travel between India and Bangladesh. The issue of this passport ended in 2013 due to changes in ICAO regulations.
Bangladeshi passports issued from July 2019 onwards are bio-metric and machine readable e-passports. [8]
