Italian envoy vows to make migration from Bangladesh ‘safer, orderly

The Italian Ambassador to Bangladesh, Antonio Alessandro, stated that fake documents and illegal practices like paying hefty amounts to middlemen are reasons hindering smooth migration from Bangladesh to Italy. He vowed to make migration safer and more orderly, encouraging applicants to use only official channels. The envoy cited one in five applications having problematic documents as a reason for visa processing delays, and a backlog of around 20,000 pending passports at the embassy. Photo: UNB
