DHAKA, May 4, 2025 (BSS) - The Embassy of China in Dhaka has introduced 
special facilitation measures for medical treatment visas for Bangladeshi 
nationals to China. 

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, Chinese Embassy 
said here today. 

As per the efforts the Chinese embassy simplified Documentation Requirement, 
Dedicated "Green Channel" Services and Streamlined Interview Process.

The 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. 

The Embassy and the Visa Application Service Center 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. 

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.
