Common rejection reasons
Common PK rejections: (1) Polio vaccination certificate missing — MANDATORY for ALL Pakistani applicants (Pakistan is one of last countries with active polio cases; certificate is non-negotiable); (2) Security clearance — Bangladesh historically cautious on Pakistani applicants, though improved post-2024 under Yunus interim government; (3) Inadequate sponsor documentation (Bangladeshi sponsor's NID + utility bill required for invitation); (4) Missing stay address details (Village/PO/PS/District/Pincode all mandatory); (5) Solo male applicants face extra scrutiny; (6) Insufficient employment/income proof; (7) Previous Bangladesh refusals or overstay history; (8) Generally easier processing than pre-2024 era but security checks persist.
