Key Features:
Located at the Jamuna Future Park (JFP) in Dhaka, the state-of-the-art center spans over a massive 18,500 square feet.
It was built to consolidate multiple scattered visa centers across the city into a single, unified mega-hub to manage high volumes, cut down waiting times, and streamline processing.
