How this works
Stopped or never offered to Bangladeshis, with a source.
Open, with conditions only Bangladeshis face: caps, deposits, extra checks, some intakes only.
A ban whose announced end date passed with no update, or with no new source or check in 180 days.
A report says one thing, the institution or a government says another. Both are shown.
A source says it is open to Bangladeshis again.
Nobody has sent a receipt. Not a guarantee.
Rules
- No source, no status change. Every entry links to what it's based on.
- Status is computed from the history of events, never typed by hand.
- An end date passing makes a ban Unclear, not Reopened.
- Official sources beat press reports, which beat community reports.
- Every share card carries its "as of" date and its source.
- We only record restrictions on Bangladeshis specifically, not normal visa or entry requirements.
Every link waits in a review queue: someone opens it, checks it names Bangladesh, and only then adds it as a dated event with the source. A link on its own never changes a status.
Right of reply
Universities, companies, embassies and governments can respond on the record. Replies are published on the entry with the date, and change the status when they come with a source.
