My experience was very positive. I had my MRP passport renewal due (with 7 months still remaining). Contacted the Bangladesh High Commission, London via email inquiring about the renewal process. I received a prompt reply from Mr. Rabbi with clear instructions to post documents via mail. Just requires a passport copy, re-issue form filled, postal order and return envelop, surprisingly simple! I received my renewed passport via post in 6 weeks (as it was the holiday period and I had planned ahead, I didn't mind the slightly longer waiting time). Well pleased with the service.

There were three occassions I used their service, No visa, new MRP and No visa for my son. I really loved their support and time. All staff have shown their caring towards me and other people on the day. They never let me down. There was one down (improved) point, that I would like to mention when I found the toilet was very dirty back in 2006, but now it's fantastic.
The staff always tried their best to provide a great service. THANK FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND HELP.

It looks its very funny to me mentioned staffs names in the majority of the comments, seems like compromised reviews left for the purpose, google need to investigate this, real picture is elsewhere, I am not disagree with the level of service, sometime you get very good service most of the times are not. Specially communication and transparency. Once you submit application there are no way you can check updates online, hardly you can get hold of someone on the phone. its not only BHC, other countries high commission service are same level, BHC London has the issue of communication and transparency for decades.

Worse service ever, their online application for NVR visa is very confusing. Even other countries visa system is not that complicated. You are asked to book an appointment for visa but when arrive at the exact time waiting time is up to an hour before you get seen because allot people comes without booking visa appointment and place in the queue. Why ask to book appointment if can get seen without appointment?

I went to the High Commission today to complete a Power of Attorney and was in the queue (I was there from 10.30 am) where I was 2nd position. The Commission's staff firstly called all the Passport and no visa required applications (total three). I waited until 12 pm but my turn haven't come. However, I saw some people were using High Commission staffs to jump the queue. So, I left the queue after 12 pm (I had other things to do). Maybe I will come back again in future to finish my job but before that I have to find someone inside the High Commission who can prioritise me without bothering any queue.

It was a great service from Bangladesh High Commission Office London. During Covid-19, BHC Office and Mr A F M F Rabbi helped me a lot with the process of my issues. Thank you again for service and May Allah bless all of the people of Republic Bangladesh ????????.

Today is 16/12/2020 which is a holiday for Bangladesh and so the high commission is closed. I also have a flight today with my son at 8pm and I very stupidly thought that my son’s passport had no visa required on it, and he didn’t! Thank Allah I checked and cut a long story short, a very amazing person at the consulate was very helpful and managed to get it done for me today on the day! Thank you so much Mr Dewan for the amazing help that you offered me and also to the others who came in especially for it on their public holiday. I won’t forget it!

I've been there for no Visa required. They are doing excellent job, at least in this Covid-19 pendamic time. One officer with glasses (I forgot to ask his name) was there in window 1, he was really nice, well mannered and very efficient. He helped me to fill up the application form. Other officer was there on the other window, he was also nice. They are very hard working people. Best wishes for them. Goodluck and thanks again to the Bangladesh High commission.

Thanks to A F M Fazle Rabbi for your support. Personally I don't know you but I have received fantastic cooperation from Bangladesh high commission. As during pandamic I received my passport without any hassle directly posted to my home address.

I want to thank our Lady H.E. Tasneem, AHC and the staff who helped to process an urgent NVR renewal application yesterday. Visitors should be aware that staff are dealing with unprecedented challenges during the pandemic, along with their normal duties, and should have patience and understanding. It was impressive watching the Ambassador flawlessly handing media interviews on our National Independence Day, while helping me. What an inspiring role model of good leadership!

Impressive Service. I have been visiting the High commission over the years, but this is the first time I can turn around and say that they have upped their game hugely. It is much more organised, and the customer service and care are a lot better than what it used to be. I have witnessed the staff going out of their way to help people and tackle crowd in a calm professional manner, despite having limited service due to Covid19. I went there twice this year and both times I received prompt and efficient service from the Consular team.
Hats off to Her Excellency and her hardworking, dedicated team. Please keep up the good work.

I must admit, the repatriation flight team (in June 2020) did a wonderful job. I am a little late to show my gratitude to the team of BHC in London and Her excellency. I had a wonderful experience with the consular service as well. I am sure there are lots more to come up for the citizens of Bangladesh. We should appreciate the efforts and be positive towards the initiatives, and let's praise the good things so the flow keeps on coming.

The High Commission has been transformed. The staff are very polite and helpful. Do make sure you have all the required documents though as, rightly, they will need those to process applications. We submitted a NVR application by post but needed to travel urgently so went in person just 3 days after posting. Despite not having an appointment, they located the application, issued the NVR and returned our passport the same day. Just wish some of the public attending learn to be as polite!

Recently I had to request NVR for myself, my wife and my daughter. I knew that Embassy operating hours are different than usual because of the pandemic. So I asked for information how I can request NVR. My queries were responded by A F M Fazle Rabbi.
He was very smart in terms of giving me the exact information what I needed. Mr Rabbi made those steps very simple for me to follow. I done that and posted all the passports, and then received those back within 3 weeks which I am happy with.
Meantime I also emailed embassy to have an update, Mr Rabbi replied to my email asking for my number to discuss. He then called me and updated me saying my NVR process has been accomplished and my passports ( family) have already been returned, and advised me to track . I emailed thanking Mr Rabbi which he well deserve.
For those who think I know mr Rabbi personally, or he is my relative. Just want to say I do not know this person at all. My understanding was embassy officers are politically selected and hired. They will have their jobs regardless they provide the service or not. They all know this and that’s why they don’t give us the service we deserve. I was super pleased so see someone who gave me the service I wanted.
Thank you A F M Fazle Rabbi.

Thanks to the Bangladesh High Commission, London and the excellent service provided by your delightful employees at Consular Service Section. NVR process is quick and excellent although sometimes online application portal having technical issues for completing the online application. New MRP application process is also excellent but police verification process in Bangladesh need to be improved & prompt. BHC should be played a vital role in this regard so as enable the MRP applicants get their new MRP within the time limit without unnecessary delay.

I was impressed by how helpful the staff are. They are organised and reliable and personally see to it that matters are dealt with. They were able to provide me with solutions and contacts when I approached them with a very pressing matter. My overall impression was that they are people who want to help and know exactly what to do to help.

I'm a Bangladeshi national living in the Republic of Ireland and the Bangladesh High Commission in London, United Kingdom, is the responsible authority for all consular services. I needed to renew my MRP recently, so I contacted the consular wing over e-mail, and was very relieved by the prompt response and assistance by Mr. A F M Fazle Rabbi (First Secretary - Passport & Visa). Further, at the time of passport collection/delivery, Mr. Anwar Parvez Sumon has been a great help in understanding the urgency of the matter and facilitated a smooth and easy service. Overall, very happy with the service. Many thanks.

I have called the office multiple times and the staff are very rude, perhaps arrogant, staff have no decency. As a Bangladeshi citizen I have every right to feel like I am in my own country. The staff are in very hurry to hang up the call. Embassy should welcome their own people with open arm. This is absolutely horrible service.

I require to make an application for MRP reissue. Called to the BHC London and received straight away by an officer. UNEXPECTED. Listened my enquiries and nicely, warmly and politely answered accordingly. NO DOUBT AT ALL, he is a gentleman and I did not expect to get this service. The best behaviour I have ever received from the high commission in the last 14 years.
I did not ask his name and therefore, I could not mention his name here. SORRY BROTHER. I beg pardon to that gentleman. Wish you a great success in your life.

Few weeks ago, I approached the Welfare department to help me on a very urgent issue with regards to my Property in Bangladesh. I am highly pleased that both the Welfare department & the other related department provided me with the effective help. I pray to ALLAH for the health & happiness of all concerned. B. Ahmed FCCA.

Their service and organisation during this covid-19 period certainly made an impression on me. They managed to implement all the social distancing manners while ensuring that sensitivity and rapport was still maintained between the staff and the people. The area was clean, the waiting room's atmosphere was comfortable. They are able to provide very effective counsel and solution even on the most complex matters - the staff who helped me, I felt, were extremely thorough and knowledgeable.

The service I received recently from Bangladesh High Commission, London, was tremendous. I'm so grateful to Bangladesh High Commissioner for correcting my mother's name in my passport. Specifically, Mr. A F M Fazle Rabbi and Md Lutful Hassan's kind and sincere help made my application very susceptible. With their honest and professional assistance, I received my renewed MRP with my mother's name corrected before my visa extension. I was in crucial need to get the passport for my job and travel to Bangladesh. May Allah reward them with the best here and hereafter. Ameen

I have recently visited the HC and was very impressed with the quality of services they provided. We needed help with matters in Bangladesh and was directed towards the Welfare section. To my knowledge no such department existed until recently. The current High Commissioner has developed a team of highly knowledgeable and skilled individuals who's sole purpose is to help and guide us British Bangladeshi's. Thanks to the High Commissioner for building such a dedicated team of professional officers, who made us proud as Bangladeshi dual nationals living in the UK. The dedicated level of support and care received has been very valuable.
I am truly honoured and touched to receive this level of help from the Welfare desk. There is no doubt others will experience the same level of support from the Welfare team. Bangladesh needs more dedicated teams like this which will make the whole system work more effective & efficiently. I thank the Welfare team from the bottom of my heart. Go Ahead High Commission London.

I called up the Welfare Desk to make an enquiry for my brother in law and I was really pleased to know that UK Bangladesh High Commission were able to provide legal advise and support. When I attended the London office, found the staff very helpful, polite and willing to go the extra mile for us. This was beyond our expectation. The place is also ensure Covid 19 safety which was impressive. Very happy with the service and we are grateful to the High Commissioner for making all the services available within UK. Our special thanks to the Welfare Service.

Came here for MRP reissue. The service was excellent. People at the counter didn't even take a lunch break! I also liked the fact that the toilets were very clean. Also, social distancing was maintained due to covid. It was quite impressive, considering we are Bangladeshis and we never follow such instructions. Thanks to the High Commission authorities for excellent service.

The activities and performance of the High Commission of Bangladesh in London is quite smart and prompt.
Their website, Facebook and Twitter are always updated and it has all the necessary things fully described and explained properly. I can see some special programmes are going on live, and the daily necessary needs of the Bangladeshi nationals living in the United Kingdom are taken cared of by the the High Commission sincerely.
