After obtaining my visa, I applied for the BMET certification, which is required for Bangladesh immigration clearance. The process is supposed to be simple: verify the documents and issue the BMET smart card. During the document verification, the designated official refused to accept my documents. (There was long line, probably He is sitting somewhere in verification interview process) However, after I paid him 5,000 BDT off the record (out of office statement), he approved my application and allowed the BMET process to proceed. This incident occurred in September 2024.
