In a development — which is likely to make many Bangladeshi businessmen, who may be keen on doing business in the United Kingdom, happy – the British Immigration is reported to be mulling over coming up with a unique business visa for those Bangladeshi businessmen who possess robust trade links with Britain.

In this connection, a concerned person from the UK was quoted as saying that the move will be a charged-for premium service even as under which the pace of the processing of the applications, meant for the Tier 2 Skilled Worker Visas and Business Visitor Visas would be accelerated.

He went on to add that the UK had been leaving no stone unturned to build an improved trade link with Bangladesh even as to achieve which the decision under consideration was believed to be something very important and in the overall interest of the involved parties.

He continued that Britain was the biggest investor in the country of Bangladesh having made an investment of nearly £2 billion till date in the nation. Over 60 British firms were running their businesses, with much success, across the leading Bangladeshi cities of Chittagong, Dhaka, Sylhet and Khulna.

He further said that Britain was the third single biggest country from Bangladesh, from exports point of view, even while the bilateral trade between these two involved nations — between the period of 2005 and 2011 — had headed north by as much as 40%.
