The US Embassy in Dhaka said it has started using the new "bridge visa" foil starting February 2024. Some visa applicants may have a new design visa.
The new Bridge Visa is a redesigned and secure visa foil, which will be used alongside the Lincoln Visa. All Bridge and Lincoln Visas will remain valid until their printed expiry date, unless cancelled or revoked.
For more information about the new Bridge Visa Foil, visit the official website of US Customs and Border Protection (CBP): www.cbp.gov/document/bulletins/us-bridge-visa-foil.
This change is intended to increase security and modernize the visa process.
