UK visa

The United Kingdom and other "civilised nations" have the right to reject applications using whatever justifications they see as "logical". The United Kingdom requires student visas for non-EU students, including Americans. Bangladeshis get rejected often simply because a large number of us tend to abuse the privilege of a visa. Countries such as Singapore and Malaysia have strict entry requirements for Bangladeshi nationals too, yet they never ruled us. In fact they were once ruled by the British themselves, but are now allowed to travel as tourists without a visa requirement to the United Kingdom. I have heard from my father that in the 1970's Bangladeshi passport holders could travel to several countries without applying for a visa, but unfortunately that is not the case today. Instead of blaming the "civilised nations" for rejecting our visa applications, Mr. Rahman should appeal to Bangladeshis who abuse foreign visas not to do so.
