Coming to a new country can be frightening if you don\u2019t know anyone. Therefore, the OEA ensures that international students coming to Bangladesh for the first time are received by the Office Support Staff (OSS) members of the OEA. Regardless of the time, the OSS members will receive the incoming international students so that they can safely commute to their designated destination.<\/p>

The incoming student is requested to send the photocopies (through a\u00a0friend or an acquaintance) of his\/her passport, visa, offer letter, flight information to the International Affairs Officer at least\u00a0two days<\/strong>\u00a0prior arrival. It should be noted that NSU will only allow one person (a friend or an acquaintance) to accompany the\u00a0OSS member and airport entry and transportation\u00a0fee will be borne by the international student.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The OIA always cooperates with the Special Branch Police (SBP) regarding international students. Any information required by the SBP is submitted instantaneously so that the international students can reside in this country legally. Each semester, the SBP requires the following information which the International Affairs Officer provides:<\/p>

    1. Name of the new international student<\/li>
    2. Nationality<\/li>
    3. Date of entry into Bangladesh<\/li>
    4. Present addresses of the international student<\/li>
    5. Passport number<\/li>
    6. Passport validity<\/li>
    7. \u00a0Visa type and validity<\/li>
    8. Purpose of stay<\/li>
    9. Name of the institution\u2019<\/li>
    10. Remarks<\/li><\/ol>

      The requirements of the SBP Office are subject to change. Therefore, the International Affairs Officer aids the SBP Office to smoothen the verification process. Due to the language barrier, the International Affairs Officer also acts as an interpreter to bridge the communication gap between international students and the SBP in various situations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      If the student faces any personal problems (harassment, bullying, etc.), the OIA helps out that student. If any student faces such problems, the OIA advises the student to go to the Proctor\u2019s Office for guidance and help. The OIA always keeps the well being of the students in mind. Therefore, the OIA encourages international students to share their concerns for the betterment of the international students and OIA.<\/p>

      The international students are requested to come during the following hours:
      1. 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
      2. 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM
      3. By special appointment (which has to be made at least a day before)<\/p>
