Credit where it's due
Congratulations to Md. Abdul Mabud, Director-General of the Department of Immigration and Passports, and all those responsible for introducing the new Bangladesh Immigration Arrival Card. Having cringed in dismay countless times over the years as I completed the obligatory landing card, this time was like inhaling a breath of fresh air.
Previously the cards demanded some totally irrelevant and superfluous questions be answered. The new card asks a mere 10 questions - all relevant and all of equal importance. Of the 80 countries I've visited, Bangladesh now matches that of Thailand, which I've found to be the most user-friendly, fast-track immigration system in the world, and the friendliest.
Congratulations Bangladesh.
