This information was shared in a Facebook post by the Chinese embassy in Dhaka on Thursday.

Entry by holders of diplomatic, service, courtesy or C visas will not be affected, said China authority.

The suspension is a temporary response necessitated by the current situation of Covid-19, the embassy said.

 

The measures will be assessed in accordance with the evolving situation and any adjustment will be announced accordingly.

Non-Chinese nationals currently in Bangladesh with visas issued after November 5 will not be affected.
