The Officer from the Registrar office accomplishes many tasks for the CISA under the Guidance of the Director, CISA. Among them, extending visas and arranging exit visas for the international students is of utmost importance.
It is crucial that the international students residing in Bangladesh maintain valid visas. Therefore, they need to extend their visas on time. How to extend their visas is described below.
Step-1. | A month before the visa expiration date, the international student has to contact student service wing in Registrar office in person. |
Step-2. | The international student is asked to deposit BDT 200 (two hundred) only to any CUB authorized bank, or Padma Bank cash collection booth (within campus) and give the Registrar office the deposit slip. This payment is necessary in order to receive recommendation letter. |
Step-3. | After receiving the payment slip, Registrar office provides a form to fill up for obtaining recommendation letter for visa extension. The international student has to fill up the form and submits it to the Registrar office along with the photocopies of the following documents: (1) data page and visa page of the passport; and (2) CUB student ID card. |
Step-4. | After submitting the application to the registrar office, the international student needs to contact with the Registrar office after two working days to receive recommendation letters for visa extension, sponsorship certificate and non-employment letter. |
Step-5. | After receiving the recommendation letters, the international student has to go to the Department of Immigration and Passport (DIP) office at Agargaon to submit the VISA application. Following documents are required to submit with the visa application form: (1) three recommendation letters received from the Registrar office of CUB; (2) original passport; and (3) photocopies of passport including data page, visa pages and page containing last entry date into Bangladesh.
