Embassy of China in Bangladesh Launches “Green Channel” for Medical Treatment Visas to China
To implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of China and Bangladesh during the visit of Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus to China in March, further enhance cooperation in public health and facilitate personnel exchangesbetween the two countries, the Embassy of China in Bangladesh has introduced special facilitation measuresfor medical treatment visas to China as follows:
- Simplified Documentation Requirements.
Local Bangladeshi travel agencies with valid business licenses may issue guarantee letters for travelers 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.
- Dedicated "Green Channel" Services.
The Embassy and the Visa Application Service Center (3rd Floor, Praasad Trade Center, 6 Kemal Ataturk Avenue, Banani, Dhaka) have established dedicated hotlines (Embassy: 02222260103, 01708464809; Visa Center: 02226603261) and a WhatsApp service group (01885041364) for medical visa inquiries. Online applications will be prioritized and reviewed immediately upon submission. A dedicated counter for medical visas has been set up at the Visa Center, 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.
- Streamlined Interview Process.
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 medical institutions possess extensive diagnostic and treatment experience for international patients. More Bangladeshi citizens are welcome to visit China for health check-ups, rehabilitation, and medical care. The Chinese Embassy imposes no restrictions on which Chinese hospitals that the Bangladeshi travel agencies could forge partnerships with, nor on the licensed travel agencies to assist applicants with the documentation for Chinese visas.
