You need an international credit card that can process foreign currency transactions. Most banks here in bd has such services, u will have to open a foreign currency account first i think or u could just borrow a card from someone and pay them the money back. I am not sure about debit cards but i think u can use them.

This vfs people is unbelievable. People didn't get their pp yet (released from Sg on 15th and 17th August). They are taking too much time.

 

[Sidd_BD]

Same here. Passport released on 17th and still on transit. I wonder whether the speed of our local rickshaw is better then the transit speed of documents by VFS

 

[oddbug]

My passport's also been 'in transit for 2-3 days' since aug 15. I've been emailing and faxing chc spore since to let them know how upset I am.And I don't blame the VFS folks as they are a glorified courier service and clueless to boot.

Hope the transit period is finally over and we all get our passports in one piece.

Best.

 

[Sidd_BD]

What is the average time taken after releasing passport from SG to reach VFS BD? Please let me know? Anyone?

 

[Sid186]

Well its usually 30 days u give your application, on medicals its a bit lower. Standard time is 2 months for getting visa

Thnx for da reply. but the question I asked is about the time usually taken 'in transit'. All other procedures i.e. medical, resubmission etc. been done. The CHC of SG has released my passport on 17th and still it is 'in transit'. How much time do they usually take for this?
