Does not travelling affects future VISA approvals.

[arup]

Hello ,

I was granted multiple entry tourist visa for Bangladesh but travelled only once. VISA validity ends next week.
Since, I applied for multiple entry visa , and traveled only once, would it affect my future VISA applications or something like that?
If it does , I may have to plan urgent foreign tour next week.

Please enlighten me if someone has experienced same..

Thanks,
Arup

No, I don't think so - there should be no negative effect. if you do it once or twice it's fine. Interviewers during your VISA application may ask why you didn't visit if you took a multiple entry visa, and if you have a valid genuine reason its fine they will let you through.

I can't think of any country which would negatively assess a visa application if the person visited only once or not even once in a situation where a prior multiple entry visa was granted. Multiple entry visas are usually more expensive so they are more than happy to take that extra money from you.

It doesn't, wont affect either if you skipped visiting even once and this goes out for any country not specifically Bangladesh
