Kolkata Railway Station is an international station which handles 02 inter-dominion trains connecting Kolkata to Dhaka and Khulna. To facilitate such overseas passengers availing Visa services for Bangladesh bound trains, a Visa information and Application Centre has been commenced at Kolkata Railway Station. The project has been conceptualized under the scheme of new-innovative idea.
The Visa Centre shall facilitate passengers for getting Visa at their door-steps and provide information regarding Visa application procedure which is otherwise quite cumbersome. Thus, the international passengers can easily get Visa related information from Kolkata Station under a single roof while approaching for reservation in these 02 inter-dominion trains. This is also a significant step towards strengthening the ties between India and Bangladesh.
To mark the commencement of the “Visa information and Application Centre” a function has been organized at Kolkata Station wherein Shri Deepak Nigam, Divisional Railway Manager/Sealdah, Deputy High Commissioner of Bangladesh in Kolkata and other distinguished Diplomats/Dignitaries were invited.
Apart from providing visa facilities to Indo-Bangladesh bound passengers, the above out of box idea of Visa Centre shall fetch a handsome amount of revenue to Railway Exchequer.
